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?

      Other people do it. They also just work for donations.

      On a side note, I recommend sideloading Blokada 5 to permanently block all ads in apps.

      You can download it from their website: https://blokada.org/#download (pick blokada 5)

      You have to sideload it because Google banned it from their store for being too effective.

        NextDNS is much easier to set up. You don’t even have to install it.
