Suddenly have 75 updates and many of them don't have any commits on their flathub github page
1 project | /r/flatpak | 14 Mar 2023

I went to update today and sometimes i'll get like 10-15 updates after a couple days but today I see 75(!) updates. I went to check the manifest github page to see some of the changes because I like to keep up with what changed. However, for the first time that I remember ever being the case, I have updates for flatpaks that have not committed any changes. For example VLC hasn't had anything new in over a month.

Alternatively you might want to try the flatpak version of VLC. I personally use it and can recommend it.
