Yes, #Fedilab has some differences between its Google Play version and its #FDroid version.
There are mostly due to restrictions from Google.
In the Google app we had to remove:
- Donation links
- Register an account on Mastodon (as they don't want to understand that the app doesn't collect emails).
- Filter some search results with #Peertube to exclude "YouTube Downloader" videos
To Google users, keep in mind you can easily switch to FDroid, we would be happy to help if you have questions

in reply to Fnord Prefect • • •@essjotbe Yes, you can use UnifiedPush to get push notifications without Google. Fedilab should work with any UnifiedPush distributor app (unifiedpush.org/users/distribu…)

in reply to Fedilab Apps • • •Got more details on that last point?
Google refusing to allow an app on Play unless it censors content on a competing service should be big news, if true.

in reply to Nik • • •It happened with Tubelab which is now a part of Fedilab. Here are the screenshot of the email we received and the screenshot they attached to the email.

in reply to Fedilab Apps • • •That sucks.
It also looks like an over zealous reviewer. When I've had stuff like that with #Pachli, pointing out that it's user generated content, with a screenshot of Chrome showing the same thing has helped.
Totally understand if that's more hassle/risk than you want to take on though.
/Cc @404mediaco , as this seems like the sort of thing they might be interested in (if Google policies do actually ban this)

in reply to Fedilab Apps • • •SRSLY?
Donation links?
Account registration?
Censorship of third-party content?
Are they nuts?
I'm done with Google Play.
