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?

It will recognize your apps once they get one update and then they will begin auto-updating again like they were. But fdroid itself is increasing its Android versions to catch up. I think it's targeting Android 10 or 11 now when it was targeting like Android 6.

Droidify > Neo Store.

...at least for me.

I have not used Neo Store though i have heard good things. I like droid-ify and have used it in the past.
