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.

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.

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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

You know boost isn't FOSS right?

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