Reddit refugee here. Using Boost for Lemmy on Android.

  1. It is VERY difficult to find interesting communities from within the Boost UX. No “You may be interested in” suggestions are thrown. I used a website to find the Reddit equivalent of some communities. But certain ones not on lemmy instances could not be added using Boost.

  2. No infinite scroll/doom scroll. The number of posts peters out even though I am subscribed to maybe 5 dozen communities.

    Using Boost for Lemmy on Android

    It’s almost like using proprietary software for an open source project leads to unsatisfactory experiences.

      That data section on the Play Store listing is set by me by filling a questionnaire, and not detected or verified by Google, that’s why it says “may”. I can change what’s shown there anytime.

      For example, the app does not havethe Android location permission, I just added that because IP in your requests can be used to detect approximate location. The financial info was added because the app has in-app purchases, but that doesn’t mean that your credit card details are shared with third parties.
