Also: fdroid exists. It’s like a playstore just for open source stuff. You just download it from their website and install the .apk like you would use an .exe in windows.
Install F-Droid from the official site (should be an APK - it’s safe), and, from within F-Droid, you can install Neo Store. Then you can use Neo Store to access F-Droid stuff. Just make sure you stick to official/trusted repos, and you should be fine. I mainly use the Play Store for stuff, but sometimes the updates drop faster on F-Droid (or there’s a handful of FOSS apps that aren’t in the Play Store).
Mine won’t seem to update beyond 0.0.6 in Obtainium. It sees the update, downloads, click Update, and bam, still 0.0.6. Even tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Same thing.
It’s a reply to my other comment haha. I edited my comment here like 2 seconds before your reply came through to reflect that. Still good for anyone this far down that missed the reply. 😁

They have an fdroid in the playstore, should I avoid that or do I download it from a web browser?
I would get it from the official site: https://f-droid.org/
There are also other apps you can use to access the f-droid repositories. I personally use Neo Store instead of the f-droid client.

I appreciate the link, it’s hard to tell what’s real or not with this kind of thing.

I’m starting to be thankful Reddit shit the bed, I’m learning about lots of new software. Thanks.
I can’t find Infinity for Lemmy on fdroid. Do I need to add a repo?
Right now it’s only on codeberg. You can manage updates with Obtanium

EDIT: Dev is aware of the issue.
The developer just forgot to change the version number for the newest release
Developers fault see this
