Where does this whole controversy stand right now? Any of you went back to using it? If not, what are the alternatives? I'm pretty dependent on it but in no way informed enough to analyse this on my own

Assuming you're talking about Catfriend1 giving up on syncthing-fork?

Install version 2.0.11.2. This was the last version of it under control of CatFriend1. Just scroll down a bit on the F-Droid page and tap on the version you want to install. And then toggle "ignore new versions". There's a competing Android client made by nel0x who's been maintaining the Google Play version. I'm waiting for them to release more updates. They seen to have a good rep in the Syncthing community.

Looks like I can only see the three latest versions (as far back as 2.0.12). Is it user error or do I need to do something special to look further back?

It could because I'm using Droid-ify or that I have 2.0.11 installed to the site is showing me that version.

I'm considering updating the app since nel0x (maintainer of the google play version) and researchxxl (who catfriend gave the app to) are joining forces.
