Hello fellow FOSS developer, I build the Manyverse app which is also on F-Droid.
Have you heard of Google's schedule to deprecate shared external directories? See this article.
Your app uses Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() which Google is deprecating in API level 29.

StatFs fs = new StatFs(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() |
I think this is terrible news from Google, and I'd like to use getExternalStorageDirectory() too. This change in Android Q will affect all File Managers and significantly change the UX and possible features for users. I would like to know if you have any ideas what could be done.
