A RULE SPY'S IN THE BASE?! (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I searched up "Lemmy" on the PlayStore and noticed that Reddit appears right before the last lemmy client in that search X3 do u guys know if there r any other lemmy clients worth trying? I randomly felt like trying all I could find and for now I'll stay on Jerboa and the Web UI but I use Voyager too now, mainly for DMs

Edit: I apparently wasn't clear enough but I was asking for OTHER clients that aren't on this list X3 but feel free to share why u use an app in this list if u want anyway :3

why do people use boost? heard it has ads in it. not to mention it collects and shares data. it baffles me why anyone would use it over something like voyager. (also its a proprietary app for a FOSS project)

I use it, it's great. No ads since I paid for it. Of course it collects and shares data, by definition as it's a client to third parties platforms.

Then you don't understand the fediverse my friend. These "clients" are monetizing something that's free.

Nah it's fine for people to make money off of their work, i even support sopuli.xyz continuity

No man I get the point of paid apps. I don't think it should collect and sell data. That's the poison pill with this whole deal.

It's my understanding that Boost don't serve ads, and doesn't track data, if you pay for it.

The point is it doesn't, it serves ads if you don't pay. It doesn't sell data, just uses google adsense to serve ads.

The other point where it collects and shares data with third parties is when connecting to third party servers (lemmy). That's it...

Google adsense collects data.

I think you're missing the point intentionally
