  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

      source

      • nicgentile@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        I’m all for Libre but in this case u/rmayayo is my leader.

      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.

    You can pay just a few dollars to remove the ads from Boost.

    • foremanguy92_@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      Bro why using Lemmy if it’s for using proprietary client? Voyager, Jerboa, you have others choice…

      source

      • dan@upvote.au ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        Ask the 100,000 people that downloaded Boost, not me.

  Where are you viewing Lemmy posts that you have ads?

  • olympicyes@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    I’m using Voyager and it’s great. I don’t even use the app, I prefer the PWA.

    source

    • explore_broaden@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      I also use Voyager and agree, plus it’s actually open source.

  • gunpachi@lemmings.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    I think it’s the Boost app.

    source

    • explore_broaden@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      I see; I can’t imagine willingly submitting to ads, but whatever works for them.

      source

      • smiletolerantly@awful.systems ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        Yeah. Boost itself is great though. Well worth the couple of bucks to get rid of the ads forever.

      I use it too. Tried a few different ones and like boost the best. I finally just paid for the non-ad tier. One time cost of 3.99. I would have been turned off by a subscription.

      source

      • gunpachi@lemmings.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        Yeah boost is definitely good, it was my main app until a few months ago. Recently I have been trying Connect, which is another great app.

        Connect has improved a lot since I first tried it, also doesn’t have any ads. But all things considered - Boost is bit more polished than connect.

  That’s what you get for using a proprietary Lemmy app. Switch to Thunder, it doesn’t have ads, it’s open source and in my opinion has the best UI out of all Lemmy apps. Also support the development and join their community: !thunder_app@lemmy.world

  • Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    From the screenshots alone the interface looks similar to sync

    Jerboa here but same

    source

    • Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      I tried using Jerboa and found it to be incredibly buggy and poorly designed. Not sure what’s going on there, considering that it’s the official mobile app made by the Lemmy devs

      • MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Has worked mostly fine for me, YMMV

  • djsaskdja@reddthat.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Do you think it’s better than Voyager? That’s what I’ve been using. Pretty satisfied with it.
