The Boost android client for Lemmy is displaying these dark pattern ads pretending to be system notifications. What security/privacy conscious Lemmy clients do you recommend? (lemmy.ml)

I've used Boost since launch and never once seen something like that happen

Same

Same but also paid for no ads. This isn't a boost issue per se, it's just how ads are made to look and boost free has ads.
