    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'm okay with him earning money to live, but put ads is absolutely not something to do. Donate to him, etc. But you shouldn't use an app with ads

    by "client" do you mean "just use a browser"?

    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...

    Ask the 100,000 people that downloaded Boost, not me.

    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.

    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.

    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
