Why are there hidden ads in Voyager? (lemmy.world)

I just swiped accidentally from the top of the screen and uncovered an off-screen ad in Voyager. What is this and is this disclosed anywhere?

Edit: Why is this post being downvoted? This is a legitimate bug/issue. What an unwelcoming community…

This is an iOS safari bug that really sucks with PWAs. I created a WebKit bug, but haven’t heard back ☹️ https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/issues/330

The native app is NOT affected by this bug so I recommend using that.

To be clear, I will never add ads to Voyager.

There is no ad in the app. it’s a bug. If you want to re-create it. Follow a link to someplace like a GitHub project. You’ll notice a mobile ad banner at the top of the screen. Now go back to the voyager pwa interface. If you’re at the top and there are no other posts off of the top of the screen. Slowly swipe left or right and pull down. It’ll bring the banner from the previous page you visited into view.

Pic?

Trying to get it to come up again. It’s hard to get a screenshot when I need to swipe down at the same time.

Maybe do a screen recording and take a pic then?
