I'm using boost, I've not got any ads?

Looking trough the settings, there's no way to turn ads off or on, and no payment for them. Just a voluntary donate button.

Did you pay for it? Or it could be regional

I don't know, how can I check?

Looks like there's no option to pay to remove ads, just a donation button.

I believe there's a donation button after paying for it. If you didn't pay for boost then there are ads inter-stitched.

Then I must've paid, thanks for figuring that out!

Same. I don't remember paying for it, but I know donated through the Reddit version, so it would make sense that I would have also purchased the lemmy version if I was given the option.

I just like using Boost because I can have the exact same interface between both Reddit and Lemmy. The Reddit version was removed from the Play store, though, so I needed to side-load it when I switched to this new phone. Still works, though.

It was removed because the dev has to pay for your use of the api. And I think reddit also just removed a bunch of api endpoints.

Do you have dns-based adblock? That reliably stops boost from fetching and displaying those.

I use cloudlfare dns, those dns blockers break some websites
