The truth is in there.
Officer I swear the reddit watermark was already there when I got this picture
I don’t want to be a conspiracy theorist, but…
Euhm Sir/Miss, i think your lemmy client may have caught a cancer.
The bottom post in your picture is clearly some kind of advertisement, which is not normal here.
You may want to check what contaminated it.
I’ve been told Android app developers will include ads to support app development, least you care to spend $5 to remove them
There is nothing wrong with people looking for an income to support what they do. But if you compare it.
Every single lemmy instance is a server someone is running and maintaining. I have yet to see a single one that integrates ads.
The developers that develop the lemmy code themselves aren’t asking us for money either.
As for apps why would you not use one with the same spirit as the above? Voyager is both on playstore, ios store. And available as a hyper performant web app. Works on any device basically.
The code for voyager is again fully open source, you yourself could self host an instance of the webapp, no ads, no one serving you. Just some software that you control doing what you need it to do.
Its not the only one of its kind but its the one i can personally vouch for is great.
When you want to support developers there is usually ways to donate directly.
