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

That the apps serve ads makes it even more confusing

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 16 points 1 year 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

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago

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