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

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

@NeatNit
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).

This is just another benefit of a centralised repo: I can't keep track of all the news about all the companies whose apps I use. A strong community of repo maintainers will do a much better job of blocking updates or removing apps entirely when they go rogue than each user fending for themselves could ever do.
