Yeah, you guys are right. I must've installed it via apk at some point and completely forgotten it's not on f-droid. Sorry for being dumb.

Signal is not available on the f-droid at the time. The Development team claims they have no interest in spending their resources on it.

because signal depends on non-free libraries, and replacing those is a considerable effort:

I can't find Signal in F-Droid. Telegram is available though.
