The Boost android client for Lemmy is displaying these dark pattern ads pretending to be system notifications. What security/privacy conscious Lemmy clients do you recommend? (lemmy.ml)

I'm all for funding the people who put all the work into these projects, just so we're clear. But Youtube Premium for example, you spend money to remove ads but google is still tracking you and will still invade your privacy despite you paying them.

I didn't know boost offers different versions for people, it's not something I use, and I'm glad that people are willing to fund the team that keeps it going.
