To my knowledge lemmy.world doesn't have personalized algorithms. just some odd people, like everywhere

He's using Boost, so it's his own fault. It's just your standard ad network crap.

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

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.

I don't know, how can I check?
