      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.

      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?

      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.

      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.
