Question on F-Drood and OsmAnd~ (beehaw.org)

Not sure if there's a better place to ask this. From what I understand, OsmAnd~ is basically a community-run version of the otherwise subscription-based OsmAnd+

To add POIs and make other changes to Open Street Map, I need to log into an editing account of sorts. Will this be fine or could my access to the app get wrecked in some way? After all, I am not subscribed to the "official" service.

I've only ever used the F-droid OsmAnd~ version.

It is the same thing as OsmAnd+ https://github.com/osmandapp/Osmand as far as I know.

I do 50% of my edits with this app. It will not wreck anything.

Thanks for the clarification!

You should ask on the OSM self-hosted stack exchange. It will be better indexed by search engines so others can find it
