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.

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 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.

You know boost isn't FOSS right?

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