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)

I use Boost and I like it. But I gave the dev the few bucks for ad-free.

If there's a malicious ad, report it to the dev. I'm pretty sure they can ban it.

I like Boost too. And it's only a one-time payment for ad-free too, unlike Sync.

Sync is a one time payment for ad-free. It's ultra that is subscription which has a load of bumph you don't need and ad-free as well.

Ah, thanks for clarifying.
