FDroid vs FDroid Basic (lemmy.ml)

I've using FDroid for some time now, but now it says "it was developed for an older Android version (I'm on 14) and can't update automatically" I read that FDroid Basic was recommended for newer phones, so I installed and copied my repos (still have both apps) but it doesn't recognize my installed apps. Am I missing something?

@[email protected] I second Bitflip's comment.

F-droid repos are amazing and a must-have, but the default F-droid front-end is not the most user-friendly.

I have been very happy with the Droidify front-end, as have other F-droid users to whom I recommended it.

You can get Droidify using F-Droid, of course.

I third Droidify

Tried Neo, didn't like it enough, FDroid seemed cleaner and simpler.

I might try droidifyin the future, but it kind of annoys me that everyone is suggesting other apps instead of answering my question. I'm not asking for a replacement, I just want FDroid to work.
