I have Boost, but I haven't seen any ads like that before. The main one I use is Jerboa though.

Wait, Boost has ads? I've literally never seen an ad.

I like Voyager a lot but it might be iOS only.

[-] Pantherina@feddit.de 4 points 10 months ago

No it is not, even though the Android app also uses that weird style

I just use my mobile browser (firefox for android) to view it.

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Idk, I've tried a few but still like Boost; just can't get into Jerboa or Liftoff, which I tried. It's mostly just their ad network being meh


though I mostly just get crappy fake gameplay ads, and not enough to bother me. I'm not even sure if they're targeting me, cause if they are, they're pretty bad at it.

Unfortunately I'm sure the app developer doesn't get much say, virtually all mobile app networks are cancer.

I paid $3.49 to support the developers and the ads go away as a bonus.

I use the webpage as a webapp. It's adless.

Wefwef. It's so normal.

Connect does not have ads

Lemmy website does provide official PWA app.

On iOS: Safari > Lemmy website > Hit share button > Add to home screen. On android, I assume steps will be similar.

I wholeheartedly recommend PWA app as such is published by the publisher of website itself, and I don’t need to download it either from official or 3rd party store.

In case you don’t know, PWA is basically a web app, running using your browser engine, which has almost same look-n-feel of native app.

Why would you need an app when an account settings page and a web interface for posts exist? What need is that combination not meeting for you?

Yup, lemmy works fine in a browser.
Also basically no apps support mod and admin actions or do it weird.
I'll say that DMs could be a bit better in the browser, but otherwise it's fine.

[-] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

I don't undestand the need to have an app for stuff that works just fine on browser. In my books less apps is always better. The desktop and mobile version of Lemmy on browser gets the job done perfectly and is way more polished looking aswell.
