One word: F-Droid! I'm literally only searching there for Apps first, often I find it. Send them some love, if you can afford it! Wouldn't know how to watch YouTube anymore without New Pipe and stuff, listening to music via ViMusic, all ad-free. https://f-droid.org/en/
I run /e/OS with a custom app store, App Lounge. It combines F-Droid and the Play Store via Aurora. It even embeds Exodus Privacy Ratings and is simply awesome. You can even log in with your Google account and download paid apps that way. Pretty neat.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Is there an easy way to see which of my installed apps are available through f-droid? Or do I need to search for each one manually.
I'd also like to know that.
yes; I use Foxy Droid to access f-droid and it detects Play Store-installed apps and displays them under Installed as long as the package name matches. This also works vice-versa
i just discover ViMusic thanks to your comment, i love it!! thank you for mentioning it!!!
I discovered ViMusic a while ago but Youtube music keeps cencoring the songs I like so I will probably seitch back to mp3's soon, cool app tho!
If you do, check out plexamp.
You can self host a small Plex server on a raspberry pi and store all the music there. Play via plexamp and Plex does all the metadata for you
Use jellyfin instead, its FOSS and amazing.
The eternal debate, Jellyfin vs. Plex 😀
I tried both, i prefer Plex (also because my TV doesn't have a Jellyfin App and i don't want to have another mini-PC just to play Jellyfin on my TV)
I hear great things about Jellyfin, but I'm in the Plex camp too. The availability of the Plex app is a big factor. I'm a bit biased in that I bought a lifetime membership years ago so I get all the premium features as well. I believe they still offer deals on plex lifetime membership from time to time. It is really worth it!
Yup, got the 20% off of lifetime a couple months ago.
Didn't regret it.
To each their own of course, I just want other people to be aware of an alternative to Plex if they haven't heard about it.
That sounds awesome!
