How to backup list of F-Droid apps (lemmy.world)

How can I backup the list of F-Droid apps I have installed on my phone right now so i can just import that list on another phone and don't have to install each app manually?

OK, I see what it's doing. If an app was removed from the favourite list, the import of the backup file will add the missing app back to the favourite list.

That actually does not do what I was after.

I am still looking for an app that will recognise all the installed F-Droid apps, so that I'll be able to backup the apps to a backup list. Then use the app and the backup list to reinstall the apps on another phone.

Can't think of anything that does that other than getting something like something swift backup which uses root or shizuku to back up and restore select apps and their data
