    Yep, also the ads don’t get initialized at all if the user buys the ad-free version (going to top all in the Lemmy Boost community should bring up the post about it). It’s relatively cheap and the dev is very active with bugs and requests. The dev is developing for the Fediverse and I’m happy to support that (as well as devs for Sync, Connect, Lemmy, etc.)

    I like Boost and paid for ad-Free, but a lot of other clients should work for your needs. While they might not be privacy focussed, many are open source so you can check what is going on.

    My preference goes

    • Boost (not FOSS, one time payment to remove ads)
    • Connect (not FOSS, ad free)
    • Eternity (FOSS & ad free)

    I uninstalled the other ones and haven’t kept up with them. There may be better ones out there, these are the ones I’m keeping up with
