I did not totally understand what the title is about.

Besides these updates and new apps, we also have many apps removed or downgraded in our scanner running. PiliPala has been added back and more removed apps will come back with non-free bits removed. But others may never come back because upstream has been inactive for a long time or not willing to fix the problem.

I really like F-Droid for their scanning and privacy-first build system.

But I currently use Obtainium as I get way faster updates, where I would need to wait 6 months or so on F-Droid.

But a good in-between could be to get K-9 mail, Mull etc. from dedicated repos and use F-droids builds for less trusted apps.

I use Obtanium, but I also like to wander around fdroid categories and discovering apps to try. Is there something similar with obtanium? Where do you find new apps?

I use "F-Droid Basic" with some repos, most importantly IzzyOnDroid and use Obtainium for updating.
