I was lurking on reddit and found out this post, I guess from the owner of @fdroidorg@floss.social .

I really hope that they will find a solution, I think that a lot of people depend on the good state of F-droid

    F-Droid alternative clients and repositories exist, so as far as I'm aware this shouldn't really be that big of a problem.

        How do other repositories handle this? Do they just use F-Droid to process the apps and then just add the F-Droid version of that app to their repository, or is there another method they use?

            So that would mean that, unless I'm wrong, the closest thing to an alternative for F-Droid that currently exists would be Obtainium. Obtainium is the only other android app that I'm aware of that can install/update apps directly from sources like GitHub.

                Yeah, that's why I said that Obtainium was "the closest thing to an alternative for F-Droid". If F-Droid goes down because of the current state of things, it would impact all of the other clients and repos. Meaning that Obtainium, while it does work completely differently and it's not perfect, would be the closest thing to an alternative for F-Droid until someone else makes a real F-Droid alternative. Once again, I will state that I could be wrong, I don't have perfect knowledge of the internet and therefor, wouldn't know if someone has already made a more direct alternative to F-Droid that no one has probably even heard of.
