I use Lemmy on desktop browser as I did with Reddit. An interesting note is my uBlock Origin extension shows a counter in the address bar for blocks of any kind. It did a pretty good job of blocking ads on Reddit and I would see pretty big numbers in the counter.
On Lemmy the counter never trips. I don’t think there’s any web site I visit regularly that doesn’t trip at least a few counts. Since my uBO extension is set up to block all kinds of undesirable stuff, not just ads, it demonstrates how clean the coding is for Lemmy.
The author of Lemmy is really tired of ads and big tech so will never happen. :)
Its FOSS as well, so even if they introduce ads for some insane reason, we can fork the software and de-federate the new “adiverse.”
