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
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 misread your title and thought you were saying that the Boost for Lemmy app was now dead. I’m glad I was mistaken.
Same! LOL
I was like: “huh? But I’m using Boost right now!”
Reddit been dead for awhile, homie. Welcome.
Welcome! Lemmy is a pretty fun place.
We got authentic weirdos unlike them Reddit fake bot weirdos.
yeah.
weirdos like me!
Who you calling weirdo, nerd?
Us.
Very sad day indeed.
I was already using reddit less. I guess this is the final goodbye.
The only 3rd party reddit app I know that is still free is RedReader. Might be others too.
Sucks they refuse to let up on the API ban but it’s cool, we needed to get off reddit anyway.
My doom scrolling is way down over the past year.
I feel like Lemmy is not very active though, unfortunately. Or maybe I’m on the wrong Lemmy and not subscribed to enough communities or whatever they call sublemmies.
It’s back now.
Oh, i uninstalled BfR immediately when i heard what was happening over there. I’m glad there’s BfL though! Dev seems just as active here as he was over there. This definitely scratches my itch for Reddit, though i wish more users were here in the places i like to browse :'( i need more motivation to get back into my hobbies, but i fear that all died alongside Reddit. sigh
Ah, bugger. I guess that’s it for reddit on mobile for me then.
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
Yeah my vanced sync stopped working as well… Not sure what to do
Stop browsing Reddit?
I mean yeah that’s an option but there’s still great content there
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.
So this was a screw up on reddit’s end and also broke their official app for some people. They seem to have rolled that change back as of this morning. My revanced copy of baconreader works again
Actually Infinity is also dead for some reason so I guess I’m deleting reddit? Great
JOEY for reddit is done too. Tried atom and can see frontpage, but cant log on to account
For what its worth I was able to log in today on Atom after whatever happened with boost. So it can work, might be worth trying again
I was wondering why the redlib frontends stopped working today. Oh well, probably for the best this way.
