Temu "surprised" by the lawsuit, plans to "vigorously defend" itself.

      First, you use Lemmy, that’s great. But pls use a client without ads…

            I’m all for Libre but in this case @rmayayo@lemmyworld is my leader.

                He is the dev who made Boost.

                  Why does he done it with ads?

                    Support his development. I will pay to remove the ads at some point when I am not being lazy. Many people like him because he listens, makes changes, has tremendous support and so on. Not to say that others don’t but that is just how we roll.

        by “client” do you mean “just use a browser”?

          Or, you know, the 98% of clients that don’t have ads. I, for one, recommend Voyager.

          Maybe but not only, for phone I recommend an app that’s much more optimized for using on mobile

            Lemmy website is fine on mobile imo. Not perfect but usable and optimized.

              For sure! Personally I prefer using the app

        I’m using Voyager and it’s great. I don’t even use the app, I prefer the PWA.

          I also use Voyager and agree, plus it’s actually open source.

      That’s what you get for using a proprietary Lemmy app. Switch to Thunder, it doesn’t have ads, it’s open source and in my opinion has the best UI out of all Lemmy apps. Also support the development and join their community: !thunder_app@lemmy.world

          I tried using Jerboa and found it to be incredibly buggy and poorly designed. Not sure what’s going on there, considering that it’s the official mobile app made by the Lemmy devs
