The Boost for Reddit app still worked for a while after the big shutdown with workarounds, like creating a mod account or using revanced.
Not anymore, as of today, the Boost for Reddit app is completely 100% dead now.
Goodbye reddit forever, hello lemmy
RedReader still works.
Yup, I’m still using this to lurk occasionally.
deleted by creator
Yup but it’s so much less convenient to use
In what ways?
Navigation is clunky, lots of missing customization options, can’t really use it for moderation
Known about lemmy for a while since the API protests, but finally took the chance to actually make an account due to this. I assume there will be a patch for this on revanced but meh
Works again this morning
There’s an incoming patch from revanced that will fix a few of the reddit clients including boost. Check revanced manager for new patches in the next few hours and you can patch boost for reddit and get it working again.
Ah, bugger. I guess that’s it for reddit on mobile for me then.
It appears they’re now blacklisting user-agents with “android” in them, people are putting out revanced patches for different clients.
I wonder whether reddit will kill the free API access next.
Bacon reader as well, I haven’t used it much since last year, but I found I could browse without being signed in.
Just checked it, and it’s dead.
Fuck the pedophile u/spez
Oh well good riddance.
Seems to be the real cause. I tried the official app for shits and giggles, can’t even log in. So yeah they fucked up pretty hard.
Hah and I thought my modded subreddit isn’t active enough so I lose the privilege. I have been thinking about creating a new one so this is a nice surprise.
It’s back now.
Reddit been dead for awhile, homie. Welcome.
I bought Boost for Lemmy on day 1 and come once in a while but let’s be honest people haven’t migrated off Reddit (and likely never will ) so outside of a few very specific subs there is barely anything for me to read over here…
It’s very tech focused over here, but that makes a lot of sense when you consider only tech aligned people can figure out how to get it all working as it is.
I kinda like the fact that it’s only tech savvy people on here tbh. Kinda like it used to be back in the day, before everyone in the world and their cousin figured out how to get online.
Normaloids ruined the internet. It’s nice to have a niche little corner of the web that they don’t know about yet so they can’t come and spoil it (yet) with all their endless pointless bickering and recycled political garbage reposting. Long live the 90s web 2.0 revival 😛
That’s a really good way of looking at it actually and I agree. The community is kind of filtered by only people who care enough to leave reddit, but also I think there is an aspect that we’re trying to escape the consequences of the karma system on posting/commenting behaviour.
I’ve always thought that having accounts that showed your total number of upvotes incentivises posting the same in-jokes endlessly. Bot accounts with high karma can even be sold to people who care about having a high karma account.
Edit: Working again
Reddit did some change in the API that breaks many apps. As far as I know they are aware of the issue and will fix it. More info here: https://www.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/1d3spoc/error_getting_submitted_with_mobile_useragent/
I was wondering why the redlib frontends stopped working today. Oh well, probably for the best this way.
Yeah my vanced sync stopped working as well… Not sure what to do
Same here was looking for info but couldn’t find anything, it works if you log out so I’m guessing it’s the revanced API thing that’s finally broken.
Stop browsing Reddit?
I mean yeah that’s an option but there’s still great content there
Redreader still works without patches if you must use reddit
I wish I didn’t have to and could convince everyone else to join the fediverse, alas…
Welcome! Lemmy is a pretty fun place.
We got authentic weirdos unlike them Reddit fake bot weirdos.
Who you calling weirdo, nerd?
Us.
yeah.
weirdos like me!
there are dozens of us
Very sad day indeed.
I was already using reddit less. I guess this is the final goodbye.
I misread your title and thought you were saying that the Boost for Lemmy app was now dead. I’m glad I was mistaken.
I was like: “huh? But I’m using Boost right now!”
Same! LOL
