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 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.
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: [email protected]
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
The irony
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?

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
Where are you viewing Lemmy posts that you have ads?
I’m using Voyager and it’s great. I don’t even use the app, I prefer the PWA.
I also use Voyager and agree, plus it’s actually open source.
I think it’s the Boost app.
I see; I can’t imagine willingly submitting to ads, but whatever works for them.
Yeah. Boost itself is great though. Well worth the couple of bucks to get rid of the ads forever.
What does Boost have over clients like Voyager?
Ads
Ads for a platform with political views that despise them. Ironic

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.
What’s wrong with voyager? Its already ad-free.
Seems so strange to choose to inject adds over top of lemmy by choice.
And it has come a long way too. In fact, I just donated since it’s struck me how solid of an experience it’s been.

From the screenshots alone the interface looks similar to sync
Do you think it’s better than Voyager? That’s what I’ve been using. Pretty satisfied with it.
Jerboa here but same

Has worked mostly fine for me, YMMV
Snap! Double irony
Lol
