My excitement is tempered by two things, the ultra cost being a subscription (I get the "why" I just hate more subscriptions) and also the pretty crappy targeted adverts "consent" whereby you have to scroll through page after page of third party vendors to turn off the "legitimate" interest which is, let's be honest their way around consent by just ignoring what you want. That's put me right off in all honesty sorry.
Man, when the Pro lifetime comes out I'm there but at this point I'm not going to engage at all with either being tracked by advertisers or being forced to go through all that. There are other open source apps that don't do any of that which may not be quite as good but the difference is worth it. Lemmy doesn't have any ads. Why should I subject myself to ads or being tracked to use what is already free?
If you use dns.adguard.com you won't have any ads.
I always have Blokada running on my phone and while it does remove the ads it still leaves behind a large blank space in the feed.
There's hope - https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-patches/issues/2724
In case you don't know, there is a newer version which I've been rocking for a while with no notable impact:
dns.adguard-dns.com
What's the difference? Better blocklist? If yes, why did they not update the old domain?
Who knows!
Well until anyone knows I think I'll stick with the old one lol
It's been on their official site for many months!
Yep is true, I don't see ads because of that.
