    I’m using the Boost app for Lemmy which has a one time fee to disable all ads. If you’re sticking around it may be worth the investment if you’re avoiding temptation. Stay sober my dude.

      of any of the other lemmy apps that start without ads…

      i still haven’t heard a compelling reason to use that one other than “it’s what I was already used to on Reddit”

        Lots of customization options and yeah, it’s what we know. I’m comfortable with how the app organizes stuff and am happy to support the dev.

        Some app devs are setting up their own ad networks, injecting inline ads similar to how reddit operated. I know everyone needs to eat, but it’s kinda lame when most lemmy instances the apps connect to are operated and funded purely by the generosity of random system admins.

          I suspect most are using Google built in AD network for ease of use.

          I don’t mind using ads or payment to remove them for apps. Some of those Devs spend a lot of time working on them.
