Since this app updates so often and it takes so long for app stores to have the latest update available, it would make sense to have a link to Obtainium right next to the links for F-Droid, Google Play, and the GitHub release page. Slide for Lemmy does something similar, though it is arguably more important there, as the app is not available on any store yet.

I have the project watched on github. Set it to custom, and releases. Whenever a release comrs out you’ll get an email. I usually get it withing a minute or two of a new release
How long is the typical delay between update submitted and being pushed to users?
It depend, usually fdroid need 2-4 more days to push an update
Is it even available on f-droid?
Not on the main F-Droid repo, but it is on IzzyOnDroid. Add this repo to your F-Droid client, and you will be able to search F-Droid to find Liftoff

Here is a previous thread on the subject of Obtainium that may answer your questions.
This particular question was answered about timely updates through Obtainium:
As for update notifications, you set the “Update Checking Interval” in the Obtainium settings (default is every 6 hours). So whenever a new APK gets added to an app’s GitHub, Obtainium will notify you of it the next time it scans for updates.
Just last week, Obtainium gave me a Liftoff update, and when I checked the patch notes on GitHub, that update had been published literally an hour ago.
