The Boost android client for Lemmy is displaying these dark pattern ads pretending to be system notifications. What security/privacy conscious Lemmy clients do you recommend? (lemmy.ml)

Boost dev here. There should be an Ad icon on the top right to report the ad. Not sure why it is not showing in this case. I will try to block those ads in the AdMob console. Edit: Done

Voyager, eternity, jerboa in that order

I tried voyager once and it was the worst thing I have ever touched. The UI is absolutely horrible. Way to much stuff and not intuitive(why do I have to click on the three dots to fucking upvote?).

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

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 0 points 8 months ago

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

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Jerboah??

[–] effward@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I don't think it shows any ads.

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 0 points 8 months ago

Of course not.
