      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

        What’s up with Steam not untying 2FA from their own app though? That is the one thing I genuinely hate about Steam

          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.)

            The system will prompt you to allow Fdroid to install apps as soon as you download something the first time. Can’t miss it

            Otherwise, you’ll find it under

            Settings > Apps > Fdroid > installation of unkown apps

            (or something like that, my system isn’t in english)

        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.

            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.

              I dislike the “Why not just Google it?” argument because I’ve arrived at too many forum/reddit/stackoverflow posts that are the top Google result with comments on them saying: “This information is already on Google”

              I would love it if Lemmy could start to curate information so that instances start showing up in search results more.

                I agree up to a point. In an instance like this, what is there to document? The steps to install F-droid are to go to the website and get it.

                For things where there’s actual discussion to be had, or answers that require some degree of critical thinking that can have value in the future, sure.
