Alright boys, I've been converted to the light side and have installed F-Droid. Now what?

Basically title. I waited on installing F droid for a long time because my phone threw many scary warnings when I tried a long time ago. But now I have it, and I got some fossify apps, but since there is no "Editor's Picks" on F- droid I dont really know where to go from here.
What apps do you recommend I install first to remove my dependence on closed ecosystems?
What is my vulnerability surface ie, which sort of apps should I watch out for?
Are there any bad faith companies in the open source sphere?

Vinyl Music Player has been my favorite of the large handful that I've tried
Your question about the security of apps is a good one and should be an ongoing one. Who do we, who don't code, put our trust into? Generally I just see if an app is frequently mentioned by others; but that's a pretty shaky approach to downloading software...
Yeah, I can't code for shit and the whole "You can check the code yourself, its open source" is kinda lost on me. I have to trust on the kindness of other people who audit the code and share what they find to decide whats safe to use and what isn't.
