First, you use Lemmy, that's great. But pls use a client without ads....
Been using Boost since it was a Reddit client. By default, it is my go to.
Maybe but you've done the transition to Lemmy try to use a libre client
I'm all for Libre but in this case @rmayayo@lemmyworld is my leader.
Who is he?
He is the dev who made Boost.
Why does he done it with ads?
Support his development. I will pay to remove the ads at some point when I am not being lazy. Many people like him because he listens, makes changes, has tremendous support and so on. Not to say that others don't but that is just how we roll.
I'm okay with him earning money to live, but put ads is absolutely not something to do. Donate to him, etc. But you shouldn't use an app with ads
Been this way for many years. Ads don't bother me. And if its continuous help, then we roll with it. But someday I may do the thing.
It's not purely the ads that bother me, it's the company behind it, to integer ads you have to use google, meta scripts. Big problem for privacy
100% this. Boost is great
by "client" do you mean "just use a browser"?
Or, you know, the 98% of clients that don't have ads. I, for one, recommend Voyager.
Maybe but not only, for phone I recommend an app that's much more optimized for using on mobile
Lemmy website is fine on mobile imo. Not perfect but usable and optimized.
For sure! Personally I prefer using the app
You can pay just a few dollars to remove the ads from Boost.
Bro why using Lemmy if it's for using proprietary client? Voyager, Jerboa, you have others choice...
Ask the 100,000 people that downloaded Boost, not me.
Probably people who have been using Boost for Reddit before and now want the same experience but for Lemmy
But with this change from reddit to Lemmy the should have done the same thing for their client
