Is there a compelling reason one might consider switching away from Organic Maps and move to CoMaps?
Apparently, there was some drama within Organic Maps and this is a fork. Idk if it's worth it.
Oh dang, I must have missed it. Is there a reader's digest version I can check out regarding the drama?
Edit: I think I found it - https://news.itsfoss.com/organic-maps-fork-comaps/

Fdroid doesnt show it
Well it says right there that the app is hidden due to your antifeature settings.
I didn't disable any of this myself. Where can I re enable these settings?
Settings > [App Compatibility] Include Anti-Features
In case you're curious, the anti-feature is "tethered network services", as it relies on a specific download server for maps. That is inherited from it's progenitor and is planned to be fixed.
well, it's in the settings. "Include anti features" menu.
This is probably because "This app depends entirely on a certain instance of a network service" (cdn.comaps.app), and you have that hidden in your settings. So basically it has the download URL for maps hard-coded.
