Is there a reason for all of the apps I've installed from F-Droid to update at the same time? (lemmy.ca)

Opened up F-Droid to check for updates and all of the apps I've installed have one. It's the first time I've seen this happen. Is there a reason for it, maybe has to do with googles money grubbing hands?

F droid builds a number of apps from sources on their own infra so it might be that a fdroid maintainer pushed and built updates for all the apps they are responsible for and you and that maintainer have a sizeable overlap in app preferences.

    Probably in response to publically announced vulnerabilities. e.g. eMudhra certificates
