    Just want to say how good it felt to open up sync again and see my cat photos! You’re a hero, LJ!

    I see a lot of issues there already, is it available for download now? I haven’t gotten the email yet and I don’t see it on the Play Store

            No worries! I’m just thrilled to see it’s coming along nicely. I’m not going anywhere.

              There is only a limit of 100 testers in internal testing. Other channels (Closed testing, open testing and production) doesn’t have any limit at all, but every update of app needs Google approval, which can take some time. Also, Google needs to approve post of the app (title, description, icons, etc…) even without uploading an app which can also take some time. Source: I’m developer (not of this app of course)

          Adding other repos that have nothing to do with f-droid has nothing to do with f-droid… calling 3rd party repos f-droid just because you are able to add them to their app is disingenuous and shows a lack of understanding of what f-droid actually is.

          F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform.

          That is the first sentence on their official site.

            Fdroid is just a program that lets you download apps from repos. Why would an Fdroid repo have nothing to do with Fdroid?

              F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform.

              That is the first sentence on their official site. Again, just because they have an app that allows you to add other repos doesn’t mean those other repos are a part of f-droid… they are not, and it’s absolutely ridiculous to say otherwise.

              Why would an Fdroid repo have nothing to do with Fdroid?

              Because those other repos are not f-droid repos, they are 3rd party repos that have nothing to do with f-droid. Just because you can add them to the f-droid app doesn’t mean they then become f-droid repos. I use droidify, and I can add any repo to it that I want including f-droid, but that doesn’t mean that all the repos I add to it then become droidify repos.

              You misunderstand how package managers work.

                Your aggressive tone is predictably inappropriate considering your failure at applying simple logic. You would only have a partial excuse if you’re 11y/o or something.

                There is f-droid the app store, and f-droid.org’s main repo. See, it’s not that hard.

                just because they have an app that allows you to add other repos doesn’t mean those other repos are a part of f-droid

                And that app is called… get it?

                Because those other repos are not f-droid repos

                Repos made to work in the f-droid app are not f-droid repos… wow

                Is the f-droid.org’s archive repo not an f-droid repo, too. lol.

                Please tell me you’re not an adult!

                The thing is, you started on the right track:

                Sync is not open source and Fdroid only allows open source.

                Here, you are on the right. And you could have followed up later by simply pointing out that “Will it be released to F-Droid” usually means “Will it be on f-droid.org’s FOSS-only main repo”, but you decided to rant some weird incoherent shit, and insisted on dying on a hell of straws instead!

                  Lmao, is that a projection of some sort? Are you able to read the tone of your reply to me? Yeah, don’t cast stones if you live in a glass house my guy. You are a hypocrite at best… I won’t attack you any further.

                  The repos made to work with f-droid are f-droid compatible repos… they are not f-droid repos. There is only one f-droid repo, and that is their actual, official repo. All other 3rd party repos, are f-droid compatible repos. I’m so sorry you can’t follow this basic logic… it’s outlined on their official site… unless you can show me on their official site where they refer to 3rd party repos directly as “f-droid repos” then you’re the one that struggles with simple logic.

                  fdroid compatible repo != fdroid repo

                  Looks like you’re talking from personal experience based on your comment history, but I’m not being a pendant… I’m making a very simple correction. And I did so patiently. F-droid does not want their project to be conflated with 3rd party repos so people shouldn’t do it. It’s that fucking simple… I’m really not sure why this has been difficult to understand, nor why it required any further explanation, nor why it prompted personal attacks from insecure douchnozzles.

                Thanks for editing your comments to change the meaning of them and shift the focus of my comment instead of telling me why you wouldn’t like Sync for Lemmy to host its own Fdroid repo as was the intended focus of my original comment.

                  I’m clarifying. I’m trying to decide the best way to frame it because you quite obviously still don’t understand by your latest comment.

                  Sync can not be in the f-droid repo because it is not open source. End of story.

                  You clearly think any 3rd party repo that can be added to f-droid is called an f-droid repo, and that is flat out wrong.

            I was pretty sure that’s where I got it, almost certain in fact. It’s becoming clear to me now that my memory is faulty though. As you pointed out, it’s clearly not open source and the only repository I’ve manually added to F-Droid is one for Bitwarden. Sorry folks - I was mistaken
