Yeah someone sent me a article and guide mentioning that info after i posted. I wasnt able to edit the title though. I did edit a link into the body of my post though. I literaly set up my lemmy that day so was a little green about all the info/guides. I was just super excited about sharing lemmy with the reddit community and didnt do enough reaearch. I did edit and comment as i discovered more info though.
I don’t think there is anything wrong with recommending Boost - it used to be a very well known and popular Reddit client before the API clampdown. I would wager mentioning it probably gets more traction and recognition than saying “look at all these FOSS apps we’ve got that you’ve never heard of” so in that sense it’s probably preferable. People on here are just really passionate about FOSS.
Thats a good point! Boost and sync were popular with reddit anf people miss their third party apps. Now we just need someone to take the RiF app and make it the LiF app.
I’ve seen people say not to recommend boost as the only closed source client
