A lot of these new apps on Android are available only, or first, on Github, so it’s a bit annoying to keep them all up to date to test.
The Obtainium app can keep track of these updates too. I’ve never used it before, but it’s coming handy just now with all the new Lemmy apps.
I’m not affiliated with the project.
Fortunately all these peeps have been convinced to upload binaries, but yes that might come handy in general.
