Posting here since the boost sub on Reddit is completely locked.

As of a few hours ago the Boost for reddit app is giving me 403 errors and won't load anything at all. I've been continuing to use Boost for Reddit since the app-ocolypse since im a mod. But it seems like it might actually be dead now?

Can anyone else confirm?

  1. Get revanced app from revanced.app. Download and install. Dont download from any other websites like revanced.net etc
  2. Follow instructions precisely from https://github.com/wchill/revanced-patches
  3. If you dont know how to do step 4 on the above link, its explained here https://github.com/KobeW50/ReVanced-Documentation/blob/main/Reddit-Client-ID-Guide.md#info OR here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wHvqQwCYdJrQg4BKlGIVDLksPN0KpOnJWniT6PbZSrI/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.dg2gcpgawdj5

Thank you! Though may this "fiasco" serve as a reminder that we are all better off building Lemmy into something better rather than keep engaging with reddit.

It's a wonderful aspiration, but I literally was the 3rd sign up on Reddit... No word of a lie, I actually emailed spez his own source code because he had his server misconfigured to report verbose errors.

Reddit has been a piece of shit from day one, it's always been a piece of shit, it will always be a piece of shit, people love pieces of shit.

And a real problem underlying is that people are shit.

So you cannot build any type of community until we learn as a tech community how to organize humans by intellectual capacity, instead of by interests.
