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

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

    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. ☹️ 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

      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.

    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

    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.

    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.
