Using Boost for Lemmy, I got an obvious political ad from the right asking to sign a petition to scrap the gun "ban" in Canada (it's a registry not a ban).

Now I understand this is an ad but I don't appreciate having propaganda from the right injected into my browsing on lemmy. Have better ads, or let us report them.

Press the icon on the top right and select report ad or block ad

If we're talking about the little white block with a play icon on the top right, it does nothing.

EDIT: Well, I tried a few more times and you have to be very precise, the area where you can tap is very small, buy I ended up being able to report it. Thanks.

Yes, that icon. It is a bit difficult to press, due to the small size. I don't think I can make it bigger since it is rendered by Google that way.
