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
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/
Welcome! Lemmy is a pretty fun place.
We got authentic weirdos unlike them Reddit fake bot weirdos.
yeah.
weirdos like me!
there are dozens of us
Who you calling weirdo, nerd?
Us.
Fuckkkkkk
Very sad day indeed.
I was already using reddit less. I guess this is the final goodbye.
I was wondering why the redlib frontends stopped working today. Oh well, probably for the best this way.
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.
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…
I can confirm. As of today I’m unable to load my front page or any of my subs.
I came to see if there was any chatter on this… I have a feed but no comments load. ☹️ Are there any other options besides maybe (revanced) official reddit, if that’s still a thing?
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
Ah redreader I’ll look into that, revanced keeps failing to patch the official reddit app for me. 🙃

Just FYI if anyone cares to patch the official app, I believe you need to use 2024.17.0 from April 24th. Per comments from someone on apkmirror, that’s the last version that patches successfully.
Nice thx might just try that to see how it looks.
I infinity for reddit is the best for me but it’s down for now. There is an update but I don’t know if it will help. I’ll check it out tomorrow
I just installed Atom for reddit, it’s pretty barebones but works for me

RedReader still works.
Yup but it’s so much less convenient to use
In what ways?
Yup, I’m still using this to lurk occasionally.
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
looks at RES in hopes they have much longer
It was working just two hours ago. Now, what am I going to do with all the free time?
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
