Temu "surprised" by the lawsuit, plans to "vigorously defend" itself.

    Where are you viewing Lemmy posts that you have ads?

      I’m using Voyager and it’s great. I don’t even use the app, I prefer the PWA.

        I also use Voyager and agree, plus it’s actually open source.

      I think it’s the Boost app.

        I see; I can’t imagine willingly submitting to ads, but whatever works for them.

          Yeah. Boost itself is great though. Well worth the couple of bucks to get rid of the ads forever.

            What does Boost have over clients like Voyager?

                Ads for a platform with political views that despise them. Ironic

        I use it too. Tried a few different ones and like boost the best. I finally just paid for the non-ad tier. One time cost of 3.99. I would have been turned off by a subscription.

          Yeah boost is definitely good, it was my main app until a few months ago. Recently I have been trying Connect, which is another great app.

          Connect has improved a lot since I first tried it, also doesn’t have any ads. But all things considered - Boost is bit more polished than connect.

            What’s wrong with voyager? Its already ad-free.

            Seems so strange to choose to inject adds over top of lemmy by choice.

              And it has come a long way too. In fact, I just donated since it’s struck me how solid of an experience it’s been.
