People pay for a custom smartphone client to the Lemmyverse.
Why do you even use a client. Just use the website dum dum don't have to install an extra app for no reason then. Stupid right? That'd be because the user experience is better with the custom mobile clients.
As is boost. I'm not sure why you guys get so freaky about ads. You can just not use the client or hell pay a few bucks and not have them. People who are paid for their work tend to produce higher quality products. What's the problem with a dude being paid for his labor?
It's supporting a good client
You can still donate to those too. It's good to support the dev(s) of any app you like, FOSS or not.
I know that, and boost is also free in that regard. Doing a donation to support a client isn't a bad thing, it's a way of supporting the developer behind for all the hard work taht went into making this
It's the first thing I did after logging in. I would've done a donation regardless if this was here or not. I just loved boost when the Reddit version was alive and this isn't about the ads
