    He’s using Boost, so it’s his own fault. It’s just your standard ad network crap.

      I’m using boost, I’ve not got any ads?

      Looking trough the settings, there’s no way to turn ads off or on, and no payment for them. Just a voluntary donate button.

      I don’t understand why people use apps instead of web interface…

      That the apps serve ads makes it even more confusing

        Only Boost and Sync have added ads. There are much better FOSS Lemmy clients like Voyager, that are ad-free and have a much better interface than web.

          “Sucks” is generous. Maybe it’s passable on desktop?

          Also there are apps without ads.
          In fact I didn’t know there were apps with ads before this post.

        I use an app (Voyager) and have no ads, they just chose one with ads for some reason

          I used Boost back in the Reddit days, but when I came over to Lemmy I found there were much better ad-free apps, like Voyager.

          The ad free upgrade for boost is only a few dollars. I don’t remember if it’s done through the app or the play store, though.

            I might. Ads are pretty unintrusive on lemmy, but these caught my eye

          If you’re interested in trying an app with no ads, I’m using Thunder and it’s great. Cross platform for Android and iOS.
