There are several FOSS clients already in F-Droid. I’m trying out Jerboa, Thunder, and Liftoff. Lemmur is also on F-Droid but it’s abandoned and doesn’t seem to work well.
Thanks for turning attention to those. I got curious and looked at the ones for Boost for reddit and they seem about the same. A bit funny to see that the settings for the app only show Notifications as a granted permission (and no other possible ones). Can anyone familiar with Android app development chime in with some details?
It will be good feature wise, but privacy?
Yeah seems pretty shady to me, I’ll wait for a FOSS client for Lemmy. Maybe Infinity will come in clutch and make Infinity for Lemmy.

I’d appreciate if the dev could explain the need for these perms. I’m sure it’s something innocuous, but it’d be relieving to hear why they’re there.

That’s probably due to the ad provider for the free version.
You should be able to disable any tracker so…
Looks kinda dodgy, but also, so what. Boost was my only way of browsing reddit, I don’t care if it knows where I am.
You may want to give Infinity for Reddit a try. Its UI look similar to Boost for Reddit without all the shady privacy issues; plus it’s FOSS.
I hate to break this to you, but both are going to be dead tomorrow.
