Now, I'm not sure if anyone has heard, but since the stuff going on with Russia and all the sanctions have been hitting, Russian creators have not been able to use Patreon. Because of this, they have had to make the decision to move to a Russian paywall, boosty.to.

From what I've been seeing, more or less all Russian creators that are on Patreon have chosen to switch to boosty.to in order to carry on paywalling their stuff. This could pose an issue for Kemono, as there are no importers for the website, and with tens, upon hundreds of Russian creators moving shop to this new paywall, it would serve well to look into it.

I know the state of the current importer is a bit jank, what with the Subscribestar importer still not having a solid workaround, and Primeleap being a pain in the ass, but having another paywall like this will eventually be an issue as more and more people will begin wanting it as a feature on the site.

Dunno if this will be pushed up the chain or left in mothballs collecting dust as more Russian creators jump ship, but hey, it's worth letting you know.
