Hi, all!

Aurora has mainly been rendered useless to me, since they started banning/ratelimiting a lot of the accounts in use on that platform.

I mainly stick to FOSS apps, but for instances where that isnt feasible, it was nice to be able to fall back on aurora store.

Any suggestions?

None that I know of.

What I did was make Aurora Store my default app to open links, search for the desired app on my browser, and then long press and open with external application as explained (in more detail) on this reddit post.

apkmirror.com, sadly aurora might be the only option for the Google store as a app. Otherwise try F-Droid if you haven’t already.

I use obtainium already, where applicable. Unfortunately though, most play store apps aren’t available on github/codeberg

I am using aptoide.

Non libre, ads, most likely spies on me, maybe a miner.

But there’s nothing else.

Why did I picture you crying as you go to install adventure capitalist knowing that the store is injecting malware and mining crypto as you do it

Must be because you have a really wandering mind.

Pleased consider giving up drugs.

Apkmirror. Find your app, install it, then let aurora update it as needed.

Get a number from a service like smspool and create a burner Google account to log in to Aurora Store. It’s the only way for Aurora to work reliably.
