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

If you really need to use reddit, redreader seems to still work fine after a quick test, with the "mod an empty nsfw sub to see other nsfw subs". The layout confused me though.

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

It appears they're now blacklisting user-agents with "android" in them, people are putting out revanced patches for different clients.

Yup but it's so much less convenient to use

Yup, I'm still using this to lurk occasionally.

It was working just two hours ago. Now, what am I going to do with all the free time?

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

looks at RES in hopes they have much longer

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Very sad day indeed.

I was already using reddit less. I guess this is the final goodbye.

I came to see if there was any chatter on this... I have a feed but no comments load. โ˜น๏ธ Are there any other options besides maybe (revanced) official reddit, if that's still a thing?

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

I just installed Atom for reddit, it's pretty barebones but works for me

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I believe a few apps got exceptions, but I don't remember which.

Redreader looks open source and it seems to be working. It's a lot more limited, which might be a good thing

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Ah redreader I'll look into that, revanced keeps failing to patch the official reddit app for me. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

I was wondering why the redlib frontends stopped working today. Oh well, probably for the best this way.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago
[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

I can confirm. As of today I'm unable to load my front page or any of my subs.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (4 children)

Yeah my vanced sync stopped working as well... Not sure what to do

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Redreader still works without patches if you must use reddit

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.

I misread your title and thought you were saying that the Boost for Lemmy app was now dead. I'm glad I was mistaken.
