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.

Check out this app, it seems to me the best of all those currently available.
Can’t stand the apple style.
Version 0.24 has beta Android style.
Not very good yet though. Definitely beta
Well the android theme has been out for less than 24 hours. They will probably improve it with their daily updates

You might want to try later again. The app is under active development.
No the app’s very good. I’m only talking about the Android theme. It says beta on it anyway though
Voyager is okay and has a nice UI, but PWA’s are always less than optimal because the browser abstraction layer is just slow.
Check Thunder for Lemmy. It’s the best native app I’ve tried yet.
The experience is very smooth for me. Seems indistinguishable from a native app. Which browser are you using it with? I am using it with Chrome on Android
Kiwi browser on Android. Kiwi is a Chrome shell browser with upgrades.
I’ve found it runs smoother when you use it on Firefox.
I agree. Right now the idea of a web app is cool, but it doesn’t really work all that well for me (scrolling up too quickly causes problems when the page thinks you want to refresh, and I like most of my apps to be in the drawer, not my home page, for instance).
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?
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.
I think the same.
