Something worth noting is that F-Droid is both an app to download other apps but they also maintains a repository of apps. You can use alternative store apps (like Droid-ify) with the F-Droid repository OR you could use the F-Droid app with a different repository (like IzzyOnDroid). You can mix and match to meet your needs.
I use the Droid-ify app with the F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid, microG, NewPipe, and Collabora repositories.
Once you start down this rabbit hole, give Obtanium a look.
I second Izzy, add:
I use iOS now though had f-droid installed on my old android phones :)
If you sell your IPhone now it may not be too late for you! :-)
Does anyone have a good foss ebook and pdf reader?
Thanks!
Don’t forget to add the New pipe repo!
NewPipe Sponsorblock repo from Izzy:

What kinda good stuff is on F Droid they the average User might want?
Öffi, a non sucking public transportation app.
Most of the apps of tibor kaputa. I really like the simple gallery. The simple dialer and simple contacts are also really good. Just clean default apps that do what they should.(adfree)
Are they planning on modernizing the app for Material You? It feels out of place in my phone in 2023.
edit: all the people who suggested Droid-ify know what’s up. Thanks, guys!
The ui seems ok, but the search is so ridiculously bad I’d don’t know how they did it.
