Yep! The same image flashed back in my mind.

I usually go around finding the link in the store page or through the search engine. Most of the time, they end up on GitHub and GitLab, sometimes on Codeberg or other instance.
Paranoid section ahead: Don’t blindly trust the issues list, closed or open, because there are still ways to permanently delete those, hence giving bad actor a way to hide evidence of the on-going security problem.
vintprox@geddit.socialto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Seeing a lot of outdated apps being recommended, is that safe?English12·2 years agoI look at the latest release date. At leisure time, I would also go and check repository and issue tracker to see whether something serious is being ignored. If it’s crucial for business, I would spare time investigating the source code itself.
I would not necessarily say that many apps uploaded to F-Droid and other repositories are unsafe, because I don’t have all that energy to audit anything I use. What helps me to stay on the safe side is reading into things - enclosed descriptions and names may look like a small factor to some, once they tread the sources, but it saves me both the time and trouble. Sloppily written stuff usually implies a sloppy code, a lax attention to details on the developer’s side.

TILvids is like your average overprotective uncle…
I observed the same segmentized silos problem a little while ago. Initial reach is SOOOO much harder when federation doesn’t work.
Reach is there only when some popular tech vblogger appears, like The Linux Experiment on TILvids - and that’s it. Most people are there for that channel and that channel only (Nick’s done a good job at promoting it, as we see), which must mean the impression other parts leave on a viewer is considerably worse.
