  I am so glad F-Droid exists. For the apps I need that aren’t there (Steam and Blizzard authenticator for 2FA) Aurora has been a godsend

  Alright, help me out. I had fdroid before but changed phones. What do I need to do to get fdroid nowadays?

    You can go to their official website and download it - f-droid.org

    Personally I prefer to use fdroid through Droid-ify.

      Thanks, I will give that a whirl. I remember about having to change some kind of setting - third party apps?

      (I could probably figure this out through some searching but I also want this for people who have no idea where to start.)

    You need to install it?

    It won’t carry over because it’s not a local play app but you should be able to install it the same way you did on your old phone.

      I’m trying to document this for others who have no idea where to start when installing things not in the play store.

        To be fair, I’d wager the overlap between people that are on Lemmy, know what F-droid is, but wouldn’t think to just Google it is pretty low. Those people probably shouldn’t be messing around with sideloading and alternative app-stores anyways.
