Honestly the ads are why I quit using boost when it came out. Jerboa is completely ad free with a similar enough UI that it’s not that hard of a transition.
Permanent ad free for boost is less than a cup of coffee in a Starbucks… The dev deserves to be paid for their time (especially as a Lemmy app actually requires maintenance for updates to Lemmy).
Sure hate on shovelware games or games with 15 DLC’s that should have been part of the base game… But don’t hate on proper apps like boost.

Connect is simple and ad free as well. I’ve been using it since I joined Lemmy as it was the closest I could find to RIF.
Regardless, there are plenty of options out there.
I don’t get the tribalism around apps.
Somme are good, others less-so.
None are worth putting up with ads for.
Expecting free software is the problem. Software development isn’t free from time or effort.
That is the reason to donate to the devs of free apps when possible.
