Hard pass
Or pay the dude a couple dollars to disable any tracking and remove ads for life?
Why are you FOSS nerds so against paying people for their work?
People want to get paid for their work? Shocking!
And other people don’t want nagging spyware ads? SHOCKING! You know, Twitter and Reddit developers also want to get paid. That’s why they killed free API access. Funny how you came to Lemmy anyway…
if you do purchase it
I’ll consider it once Liftoff, Thunder, etc. are all dead…
It’s not for everyone for sure especially if you’re looking for something FOSS. I’d rather use a FOSS app, but it was my Reddit app of choice for a really long time and I’m happy to give the developer a one-time $3.50 purchase to have that experience back. I can barely tell I’m not on Reddit.
Even if it’s just a stopgap solution, I’m all for Reddit app developers porting to Lemmy. Right now the open-source Lemmy apps all lack a lot of polish, so having paid options that offers a more polished experience for people coming over from Reddit is a plus for the platform’s engagement as a whole.
Nice no privacy app.
Behold the sketchy invasive advertising platform I have selected with which to extort you.
Alive as their abusive data collection.
"Dev here.
The dialog and its content is not created by me, it is a standard solution from Google to comply with GDPR and other laws. More info here: https://support.google.com/admob/answer/10114014?hl=en
The consent dialog is also required by Google AdMob to show ads, and it is shown when the ad network is initialized.
When the app launches, first it checks for the remove ads purchase, and if it is not present, it will initialize the ads sdk. The ad network is not initialized if the remove ads purchase is detected.
Boost for Reddit was using the very same ad networks and consent dialog. "
Hey Ruben! Long time Boost user and I was wondering if there is a community for your lemmy app? I was active in the previous one :)
Also, might I suggest a small addition for my favorite feature, the image uploading! To add alt text to images for accessibility.
it’s possibly to create image captions with a simple [reference image](reference.url) tag by adding  and I could definitely see just a little extra space for adding it :)
Here is the accessibility thread discussing it which will have better info: https://beehaw.org/post/686974
Thanks for everything you do!!
Just as a heads up, while Ruben was the one who made the comment in the screenshot, Ruben isn’t the one who posted the screenshot here in the comment you replied to 😅
He does have a community on lemmy world. Here’s the link: !boostforlemmy@lemmy.world
Edit: link
No thanks, I used to use boost for reddit and I loved it.
But now on lemmy, there are FOSS apps that are just as good I’d rather donate to.
Source code?
