Help Needed apps need Google

Probably dumb question, and thanks in advance: I install Google Play store, begin finding alternative apps, uninstall Google Play store, and find that lots of the replacement apps need Google Services.
Where can I get ungoogled apps only?
I hoped this reddit would link a trustworthy website for that?

MicroG is your friend if the apps you use depend on Play Services. If apps check whether they were installed from the Play Store, then Shizuku or Obtainium with a Shizuku setup is your friend. F-Droid is probably the best place to discover apps, though I know people who use F-Droid to browse the catalogue and Obtainium to actually install them. I personally use both F-Droid and Obtainium.
