I don't understand why people use apps instead of web interface...

That the apps serve ads makes it even more confusing

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Because the web ui sucks, imo

“Sucks” is generous. Maybe it’s passable on desktop?

Also there are apps without ads.
In fact I didn’t know there were apps with ads before this post.

I use an app (Voyager) and have no ads, they just chose one with ads for some reason

Im just used to it from reddit. Its comfy

If you're interested in trying an app with no ads, I'm using Thunder and it's great. Cross platform for Android and iOS.

The ad free upgrade for boost is only a few dollars. I don't remember if it's done through the app or the play store, though.

I might. Ads are pretty unintrusive on lemmy, but these caught my eye

I used Boost back in the Reddit days, but when I came over to Lemmy I found there were much better ad-free apps, like Voyager.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Only Boost and Sync have added ads. There are much better FOSS Lemmy clients like Voyager, that are ad-free and have a much better interface than web.

Jerboa, Raccoon etc dont do ads(get them.from F sroid) . Boost does if you don't buy it.
