at the expense of turning this a platform to rant away my grievances, the past year i faced a weird issue with the store that lasted several months!
the tailscale client introduced a bug with a new updated that crashes on launch. the developers rolled back the release after a few days, by then i had already unknowingly installed it.
now came the world of hurt. while it is also partially the dev team's fault to not quickly patch a new version for f-droid to allow easy update, there was no way to rollback versions of installed apps from the store!
non-rooted phones have a lot of issues with installing specific apk version without getting rid of app data, and it really soured my experiences with using open-source app stores. in this case, the only way was to wait 4 months to finally get the official patch. i really wish they introduce a way to install older version without losing app data.
besides this, i do agree with others on having no filters to weed out dead projects from results. the sort by last update does most of the job to be fair.
