Hello,

Im in the route of degoogling my life, just recently installed GraphaneOs. Where do you guys download apks? I need Synology apks like Synology Photos. I dont see if it is published on official website.

How you deal with that? How to avoid downloading malware by mistake?

I use Obtainium. It's not a store or repo, so I have to manually find the apps I want to install. I even prefer it over fdroid: I might search for apps on fdroid but then go to the app's repo (on codeberg or github, etc) and try to install them via Obt ainium. But 98.6% of the time, I don't use fdroid to search for apps - I find them mentioned on Lemmy, in my RSS feeds, searching the internet via searxng.

Same here.

Also shout out to this nifty site that helps adding apps to obtainium that fail if you just add the github link:

I've been wanting to get some rss feeds going on my server. Would you have some good links for rss feeds for open source, self hosting, etc to get me started? Wanting to run a docker container for them too.

I now see that I expressed my idea unclearly. Sorry!

I don't have any RSS feeds specifically for new/good apps. I meant that in my normal RSS feeds, sometimes new/good apps are mentioned that I want to take a look at.

I get leads from sites like selfh.st, Lemmy communities that discuss FOSS or Linux (or even non-tech-related communities sometimes mention an app that has to do with their domain of interest), and I sometimes search github (FYI, I use github as little as possible - I host my own Forgejo forge for my stuff - but, like Youtube, you have to go where the data is if you're going to find the data).

Ahhh, ok no problem. I will check selfh.st out. Thanks!
