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

F-Droid works as intended. It works in a boneheaded way, but it is how they want it.
You calling this a "bug", even though you understand why it happens, makes you seem disingenuous, @organicmaps

@fennek this is 1) bad default setting issue that requires users to learn about setting and find/change the setting; 2) bad UX for the unclear message about the filtered out app. Writing something like “Press here to open Organic Maps, because it was filtered out from search by default by someone’s decision” would help users a lot.
