Fossify Gallery is now on F-Droid, and Simple Gallery got removed due to a proprietary dependency (beehaw.org)

Fossify Gallery on the official F-Droid repo

The removal isn't directly related to the buyout/fork. Simple Gallery was taken off of F-Droid due to a dependency on the nonfree Google VR being discovered by IzzySoft¹ ². Fossify's fork has removed the dependent features to be compliant³.

Cool, thanks for the info! All of mine are f-droid and figured they'd be okay for now. Definitely looking to switch though but I'm lazy and prefer to do things through f-droid lol
