For almost two years, users searching for Organic Maps on F-Droid have been unable to install the app due to a bug (or due to someone's deliberate choice?).
Many users have reported this issue to us. They do not understand why it happens. The bug is still there, and F-Droid maintainers don't care: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/-/work_items/2850

I don't think it is a bug - the answer is included in your screenshot

"Some results were hidden based on your antifeature settings"

According to fdroid, Organic Maps has some antifeatures, as can be seen in this screenshot.

I still use Organic Maps every day and I love your project. thanks for your work :)

@snue We tested with many people. This message misleads users. Nobody we asked was able to install OM without our explanation on how to disable this unclear hint in settings. The impression was "Organic Maps was not found".

I agree with you - I think the way Fdroid handles "antifeatures" could be better :)
