Also: fdroid exists. It's like a playstore just for open source stuff. You just download it from their website and install the .apk like you would use an .exe in windows.
I would get it from the official site: https://f-droid.org/
There are also other apps you can use to access the f-droid repositories. I personally use Neo Store instead of the f-droid client.

Install F-Droid from the official site (should be an APK - it's safe), and, from within F-Droid, you can install Neo Store. Then you can use Neo Store to access F-Droid stuff. Just make sure you stick to official/trusted repos, and you should be fine. I mainly use the Play Store for stuff, but sometimes the updates drop faster on F-Droid (or there's a handful of FOSS apps that aren't in the Play Store).
I can't find Infinity for Lemmy on fdroid. Do I need to add a repo?
Right now it's only on codeberg. You can manage updates with Obtanium
Mine won't seem to update beyond 0.0.6 in Obtainium. It sees the update, downloads, click Update, and bam, still 0.0.6. Even tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Same thing.
EDIT: Dev is aware of the issue.
Developers fault see this
It's a reply to my other comment haha. I edited my comment here like 2 seconds before your reply came through to reflect that. Still good for anyone this far down that missed the reply. 😁
It's currently on the IzzyOnDroid repo, it only got added on the last day at some time.
