Will it be released to F-Droid at the same time as the Google Play store?
The main repo is open source only, but there are others
Fdroid is just a program that lets you download apps from repos. Why would an Fdroid repo have nothing to do with Fdroid?
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.And that app is called... get it?
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:
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!Just saying, nobody loves a pedant.
I apologize for douchenozzling up the thread. I actually appreciate the explanation as it was informative, but it is pedantic to focus on that instead of answering the original question.
Can't argue with that, was just trying to point out why people were reacting negatively is all.
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 never said to add it to the main repo operated by the F-droid team. I suggested adding it to an alternative 3rd-party repo that allows non-open source applications.
Obviously a repository compatible with F-droid can be called an F-droid repo, and is called as such by both the community and in official documentation. That doesn't mean its necessarily owned or operated by the F-droid dev team as you seem to think I'm implying.
Has LJ said it'll run without Google Play? I certainly hope so.

I must have got Sync from the Playstore.
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
It's not open source
