I has come to my attention that some users have never heard of F-droid. F-droid is a free software app store for android (f-droid.org)

Unless you submit a FOSS app and they don't feel like including it.

Are you talking about a particular app? Usually apps are rejected because they don't meet the inclusion policy, not merely because "they don't feel like it."

It meets it quite well, still didn't include it because of rule they made on-the-fly.

Can you share what app it was? And maybe link relevant GitLab discussion
