On the Droid-ify the signal app is provided by: org.thoughtcrimes.securesms

The official website only links to Google Play for the Android client, even on the fairly “hidden” download page.

If the official website redirects you to the Play Store, then it is safe to download the app from there.

And to be noted, I don’t think that the Android app client for Signal is available on F-Droid.
