Overview here

https://forum.syncthing.net/t/does-anyone-know-why-syncthing-fork-is-no-longer-available-on-github/25661/39

The new owner of the repo has a fresh github account and apparently has the signing keys from Catfriend1 too.

Time will tell if they are trustworthy, but for the extra paranoid it might make sense to pause updates for a while.

I installed mine from F-Droid. I just went there to turn off updates and it doesn't exist. I have not been paying attention so it may have been gone for ages and not related?

    Interesting - mine is syncthing-fork 1.30.0.4. When I go to the App Info page it says "App installed from F-Droid" and when I tap on that button I get a small pop-up that says "No such app found."

    I think everyone misses the upgrade except new installs, how users (including power users) can know that they have to uninstall the old app, potentially lose all the settings , then reinstall and reconfigure?
