We regret to inform you that Mastodon has decided to leave the F-Droid Reproducible Builds project.

Going forward, Mastodon updates on F-Droid will be maintained by the F-Droid team and signed with an unique per-app key generated by F-Droid.

If you installed Mastodon through F-Droid, please uninstall and reinstall it to keep receiving updates.

We did not leave the F-Droid Reproducible Builds project, because we never entered it in the first place. It was not an active decision by us; F-Droid manages their own app repository and decides which apps go in and how they are built. Our development process results in two artifacts, a AAB build for the Play Store, and an APK build that is published on GitHub, both of which are made from the same 100% open-source, GPL code.
which is not even in the main F-Droid repo 🙁
if someone throws the missing steps at me, i might as well see if i can follow them as i'd love to have megalodon listed on f-droid - but i don't have the capacities to figure this out myself at the moment
I gladly help out here. Easiest way is via an RFP (Request For Packaging), see this section of my article: https://android.izzysoft.de/articles/named/fdroid-intro-2#rfp (once you open an RFP, I'll get a notification and will be there to help you further – together with my team mates). As your app is already listed in my repo, initial metadata can be provided by me, too. @jr@sergiofdezsaez@fdroidorg

this whole drama actually went down exactly because F-Droid distributed the developer signed version at the beginning, but for this to work, F-Droid needs a reference APK that complies with F-Droid policy, which then in turn became to much work for the Mastodon team to upload, so they asked to get switched to the F-Droid owned signing key.

In other words: F-Droid tries their best, but sometimes upstream developers won't/can't cooperate
