Glider for Hacker News
I personally use this to browse Hacker News. It's great, but sadly it does seem to be somewhat abandoned. The last update was in 2022, and there are a few annoying bugs[0][1][2].

F-Droid: Android FOSS app store
This is the discussion on implementing a popcon-style feature in F-Droid if you want to read through where the project got to: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/-/issues/396

First fully commercial, paid app requiring a key to function at all in main F-Droid repo! (Or is a free ad for the app?)
Meanwhile, the Latest tab "highlights good descriptions" (meaning in other words that it "hides" apps not meeting certain metadata criteria, even if they're completely free - as in speech and in beer - apps), which was not free of some irony, and was discussed at length with apparent consensus to change it but then every time it was back to square one. Because "Latest" apparently doesn't mean "Latest" and people don't get the nuances of English. Not kidding. Read the issue.

# of app downloads
Basically, not at present, I think. It's happened for some time, and for a longer time in the past, it's been discussed multiple times, but I don't think right now there's any effort in this direction.
