LBRY seems serious about getting onto F-Droid. I saw this today.
500,000 LBC for LBRY Android on F-Droid

As someone that quit Google everything 8 years ago I welcome platforms like this. It has seen a large influx of viewers and they are pushing YouTube creators to at least mirror their content there.
I think they have too many things on their plate as the platform is improving quickly.
Having this app on the F-droid store seems like a win for both platforms. A step in the right direction.
