Is it ok to still use Honeygain but currently using DNS66
Here's DNS66, it feels like an abandoned open source adblocker and only maintainers are the ones who update the Blocklist which are owned by other people: https://github.com/julian-klode/dns66

DuckDuckGo now lets all Android users block trackers in their apps
DNS66 is on life-support now, even though it works great. Their lead developer, Julian, recommends using Private DNS instead: https://github.com/julian-klode/dns66/discussions/480

How can I limit ads on apps on my smart tv?
This will block all the youtube ads on both browsers. If your toddler is watching on a phone, I would recommend newpipe or dns66 for android https://github.com/julian-klode/dns66 . Those aren't great, but they do. Firefox on android systems also allows ublock origin extension to be installed.

You should add a new entry in "Builds". Have a look at how Newpipe does it for each new version here for example.

Google account deleted after 2 hours of Aurora
To me it's not very clear whether those terms practically apply only to their app, since clearly they can't grab logs from Aurora if Aurora doesn't dump those logs for example... but if this is something the F-Droid team should look into, open an issue on https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues or inquire in one of their official channels on OFTC (#fdroid) or Matrix (#fdroid:f-droid.org).
- Amethyst (nostr client) is not FOSS

difference between the various Osmand versions - and f-droid
OsmAnd~ from F-Droid not having Android Auto is a known bug: see the discussions at https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues/2567 , https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/issues/13514, https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/issues/3391 and https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/issues/15400

How to discover new FOSS apps?
You can also get F-Droid Build Status which I believe will let you see apps that are being attempted to be built even if their build isn't succeeding yet, again for the "catching things early experience". Or, just keep an eye on the issues, merge requests and commits at fdroiddata which is where people actually add new metadata for new apps to be built by F-Droid, and it often takes a while between an app being first mentioned, and it being able to be included, for many possible reasons.
