Does anyone else have problems with F-Droid apps? (kbin.social)

I want to use F-Droid to download as many apps as possible for my phone, the only thing is I seem to have consistent issues with them. The ones that come to mind from the last week are as follows. They worked when installed from google play (irritatingly)

KDEConnect: Wouldn't download on F-Droid
AntennaPod: Notification remote wouldn't appear a lot of the time and it wouldn't work with android auto

I've shifted towards using Obtainium for most of my open source apps and get them straight from the repo release page. I didn't have any real problem with F-Droid, it's just really slow to release updates since they build everything themselves (which is cool, but again, slow).
