First, you use Lemmy, that’s great. But pls use a client without ads…

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

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…

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

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: !thunder_app@lemmy.world

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.

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
