List of known repos that can be used with F-Droid. Might help anyone getting started who wants to see more software. IzzyOnDroid is highly recommended to really flesh out F-Droid.

    I always hear people praise Izzy’s repo, but I’ve always made do (due?) with F-Droid’s default repo + Fluffychat, NewPipe, and Bitwarden repos. Does anyone know of any really good apps specific to Izzy’s repo that would make it worth activating?

      It is less about specific in my experience and more about discovery. Since their repo has quite a bit more options and often updates faster of F-Droid official repo.

      The repo of Izzy uses the APKs of the app authors (often the GitHub Releases). The main repo of F-Droid is built from source code. So Izzy gets faster updates, but the main repo builds from source code. Of course, the app must be open source in both.

        Ah nice. Ya I noticed lemmur was on izzy for ~ a week before it got on f-droid.

          Yes, it could be. On F-Droid is a bit more “strict” way to publish an app than on Izzy’s repo.

      I activated it because of Otter, which is an app for Funkwhale.
