The author of Lemmy is really tired of ads and big tech so will never happen. :)

Its FOSS as well, so even if they introduce ads for some insane reason, we can fork the software and de-federate the new "adiverse."

I use Lemmy on desktop browser as I did with Reddit. An interesting note is my uBlock Origin extension shows a counter in the address bar for blocks of any kind. It did a pretty good job of blocking ads on Reddit and I would see pretty big numbers in the counter.

On Lemmy the counter never trips. I don't think there's any web site I visit regularly that doesn't trip at least a few counts. Since my uBO extension is set up to block all kinds of undesirable stuff, not just ads, it demonstrates how clean the coding is for Lemmy.
