Talking about Conversations, see also https://snikket.org/ how to’s
I saw signal on f-droid too
Scroll up and read the thread, you did not see it in the F-Droid Repo
Too lengthy a process and headache to bother anymore. I have Talk/Spreed from NC now, which takes care of most of my needs. Rest tbvh, not bothered.
As I know, Quicksy uses the XMPP protocol too.
With the same protocol I’ve been using since many years blabber without technical problems. It is also in F-Droid repo.
The only inconvenient is, that few people use XMPP based chat apps and I find, it is heavy to convince someone to install XMPP chat apps, because of registering to a XMPP server, and first of all because the most Google-Android users are “lazy”.

Blabber is dead for the last 3 years, please don’t use it, don’t ask others to use it, more info: Daniel Gultsch: "⚠️ 🚨 It’s time to stop using Blabber.im 🚨⚠️ The …" - Mastodon
and Daniel Gultsch: "#Conversations_im and #BlabberIm traditionally ha…" - Mastodon
yes, that’s why you use Conversations or Monal, and your less tech-savvy frens should install Quicksy 
I red the notification you are linked. It is serious? I have same doubts because the suggestion to switch to conversation goggle app.
No, I use Blubber. Anyway I would try Quicksy, but I can’t find it on F-Droid.
wat? the second post post here says how to swich to latest Conversations in F-Droid
wat? Quicksy | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository
I can open the link to Quicksy app on PC, but I do not find it searching in F-Droid app on the phone. BTW: In F-Droid app settings I have deactivated all restrictions
we’ll yes, Quicksy depends on some other services, so if you ENFORCE antifeatures… it won’t find it, but you’ll see a text under the search bar that tells you something, right?
AntiFeatures:
NonFreeNet:
en-US: Depends on Twilio or Nexmo servers for authentication SMS
TetheredNet:
en-US: Tethered to quicksy.im XMPP server.
Tracking:
en-US: Authentication SMS is sent via Twilio or Nexmo.
anyway, what I mean is this, if you want max freedom use Conversations, if you want max convenience Quicksy can be used.
