Description
Using the official f-droid client, the app can't be found by searching for "copyparty".
You have to know the app is called "Party UP" and search for that.
It is really the fault of f-droid because their search is too strict. But I doubt they will change any time soon.
It works if you search for "webserver" so it must be searching the short description. So adding "copyparty" to that would help it so be findable and recognizable to people who already know about it.
Might also consider a clear link to to the main copyparty repo from the description.

Research direction
Find the F-Droid metadata file for the app, likely in a directory like 'fastlane/metadata' or 'fdroid/metadata'. Look for the short description field and add 'copyparty' to it. Verify the change by checking the F-Droid build process or documentation to ensure the metadata is correctly formatted. The issue is done when the app appears in F-Droid search results for 'copyparty'.
