F-Droid vs/or Droid-ify

SirWolf Same boat, Threema and Element and proton. Although I only installed protons suite because I hadn't realized it yet. But not being able to verify what I'm installing is from the dev is a problem for me.

Sempa I know this thread is relatively old, but this post is relevant to the discussion of official client vs forks: https://www.reddit.com/r/fossdroid/comments/16zb6ph/psa_only_the_official_fdroid_client_has_proper/?rdt=44205

There are good reasons not to use F-Droid, there was a topic about it:

#18731

I only use Accrescent and Obtainium myself nowadays, it works well for me.
The PlayStore is also a decent source for apps, just be careful which apps to pick because many apps are proprietary apps that are monetizing by tracking users.

Update:

Now I install the NextPush app (Nextcloud's UnifiedPush solution) as a notification service on GrapheneOS. In Element, I can set this app as notification service. Given I already have a Nextcloud deployment too, besides the Matrix server, this works out fine for me.
This allows me to slowly ditch F-Droid Basic for installing Element via Obtanium. Most of my apps now come from Obtanium, and I'll continue working towards that.
I don't use Accrescent anymore. I wrote the reasons here: #2415122.

(Edit: Forgot to mention @looped_around as you might be interested in this.)
