Eternity. It was a FOSS Reddit client before the API stuff but they became a Lemmy client.
Jerboah??
No h on the end - just Jerboa
Ads in the feed now? Yikes, that's reason enough for me to switch before I'm forced to update it.
Infinity is great
i got scared cause i was on infinity and saw this post and thought infinity was showing ads now :p

Iirc Sync and Boost are the only proprietary clients right now, so everything else is good. I'm using Eternity right now, it's on f droid

The title is a little disingenuous. Claiming this is a property of the Boost app isn't correct... It's just an ad network.
I didn't make the statement that it's their property, I made the statement that it's being displayed through their application.
Boost loads adds from a shitty network though. Most open source apps don't do this stuff because nobody wants a Lemmy client to load ads; users only ever tolerate it in return for a more polished UI or whatever.
Good god I thought that was my client for a moment. Almost uninstalled before realising it was an image.
Phew
I use Boost and I like it. But I gave the dev the few bucks for ad-free.
If there's a malicious ad, report it to the dev. I'm pretty sure they can ban it.

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

Thunder! It is
- FOSS
- Cross-platform (Android/iOS and you can even build for desktop or web)
- Has some neat features that I haven't seen in other clients, like a really customizable FAB, material you theming, multiple anonymous instances, ping time and version info for instances, supports 0.19 including new features like instance blocking, an advanced share that can create a microblog style image to share posts
- Very good accessibility
- and lots more.
Coming from Relay for Reddit, I feel very at home in Thunder!
