Another benefit to having the official repo is that you can toggle it off if Newpipe ever goes down the same path as, say, Simple Mobile Tools (sells to an adtech company).

@NeatNit
Yeah, why not make it the people it comes from?

The other problem is trusting a centralized service implicitly. That's how people keep getting their login information exposed from Fakebook.

 

Still seeing posts from Lemmy about how @fdroidorg doesn't have @newpipe in sync.

They have an official repo. That will fix the problem.

@LIE
No worries. I'm expanding my feeds to include more of ActivityPub (except Fakebook's most recent malware).

  1. I wasn't sure which account I typed out that comment on.
  2. Some people only look at one thread.

Is that a good enough answer?

  1. Download and install F-Droid to your Android phone: https://f-droid.org/
  2. While on the website, select "Docs" at the top of the screen then select "Known Repositories"
  3. Copy the URL for NewPipe's repo
  4. In F-Droid on your phone, go into Settings, select Repositories, select the plus button at the top right corner, and paste the NewPipe repo into the text field.
 

I check in for the first time in a few hours and I've noticed @newpipe is retooting up a storm thanks to YouTube.
