Basically title. I waited on installing F droid for a long time because my phone threw many scary warnings when I tried a long time ago. But now I have it, and I got some fossify apps, but since there is no “Editor’s Picks” on F- droid I dont really know where to go from here.

What apps do you recommend I install first to remove my dependence on closed ecosystems?

What is my vulnerability surface ie, which sort of apps should I watch out for?

Are there any bad faith companies in the open source sphere?

    i use:

    • aves (gallery app)
    • organic maps
    • jellyfin
    • openboard
    • symphony (music player)
    • syncthing
    • nclientV2 (te best way to read 6-digit codes)
    • fair email (easily the best e-mail app i’ve ever used)

    also youtube revanced (not entirely open source or available on f-droid, but the best way to watch youtube without ads for my use case)

      My problem with Symphony and other music apps like Auxio is that they don’t work with audiobooks and file types like m4b. Simple Music Player worked for me when playing all my audio files but now I am waiting for the Fossify version to be published.
