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
What is reddit?
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.
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/
Fuckkkkkk
I can confirm. As of today I’m unable to load my front page or any of my subs.
Ah, I was wondering what happened. Gave my Boost for Reddit the revanced treatment and it’s been working fine since last summer. Oh well. All good things.
looks at RES in hopes they have much longer
RedReader still works.
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

Yup, I’m still using this to lurk occasionally.
Ah, bugger. I guess that’s it for reddit on mobile for me then.
Welcome in! Now go download Boost for Lemmy. 🙂
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
Works again this morning
More folks that make the switch the better it gets here so welcome friend!
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
Stealth for Reddit available on F-droid still works, and the only app I used for Reddit after the api wars due to no need for an account to have a custom feed and allowing local saves that posts or comments. Accountless is my favorite approach to stuff like reddit or YouTube.
