Was wondering if anybody had any news about Boost's arrival to the Lemmy scene, or if anybody knew of any way to get news about Boost.

The best android app currently is connect for lemmy

Not available in F droid is no go for me.

I do not know the reason why you don't want to use play store.

There is a play store alternative called Aurora store on f-droid. I installed connect with Aurora store.

It's not because of play store. It's because not being on f-droid generally means an app is not foss. That's why I avoid connect as well.

You know boost isn't FOSS right?

Gotcha

I'm not Stallman. I make some exceptions and Boost has been one if them.

This may be a stupid question, but how does an app being on Play Store and not F-Droid make it no longer FOSS?

[–] crunchpaste@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

It doesn't make it no longer FOSS. It's just that usually if an app is FOSS it is on f-droid.

I find personally Jerboa to be the most stable with the richest feature base currently. Has a ways to go, but jerboa is consistently updated to keep up with Lemmy changes as well.
