I was wondering, with all the different Lemmy clients and frontends, what/which out of these do people actually use? To answer this, I made a poll if anyone wants to fill it out, and I tried to put every client I could find.

I'm using the free version of Sync for Lemmy now, I don't see any ads. Maybe because my phone has the adguard server as my DNS server and it's just blocking them all?

How atrocious are they when not using adguard?

Yeah it's from adguard DNS.

Ads just show up semi frequently. Definitely visible but not obtrusive. Just keep scrolling.

You should still see the frequency with adguard. It's just a blank area where normally there'd be an ad.

I still haven't paid to remove ads, and no Adguard, yet I've never had a single ad show up. I wonder if there's a bug.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

I don't think so?

The frequency I see ads is very very low. And when they do it's just a single card

Yes, but what did Mary do?!

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Hmm, glad mine looks like this

I don't have adguard on my phone and have never seen a single ad on Sync since day one.
