I think it's the Boost app.

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

[–] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Xylight@lemdro.id 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What does Boost have over clients like Voyager?

Ads

[–] Xylight@lemdro.id 1 points 9 months ago

Ads for a platform with political views that despise them. Ironic

[–] Mobiuthuselah@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

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.
