For additional content, you can accomplish ad blocking in a number of ways. The ones that immediately spring to mind:

  • browser extension: most modern browsers have some extension framework available. I’ve been using ublock origin for a number of years with reasonable results
  • VPN: some VPNs include ad blocking as a side benefit to their primary function. Nord doesn’t seem to block ads on all mobile apps or is at least inconsistent in my experience
  • Network packet filter/PiHole: this has been on my to-do list for a while. Catches network traffic that looks like ads before it even reaches your device. Most involved and least portable

Is this real life? I found boost just shortly before everything went down cuz I had reached my breaking point with promoted shit. Having it for lemmy would be awesome!
