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?

Gonna have to wait and see if the RV team comes up with a fix. For now, seems like it's dead, Jim.

Same here. I guess it's a blessing.

I'm not coming back to Reddit through their app.

I confirm, it's giving me 403 error too and repatching didn't help...

In the same boat as you, had a small community I was moderating that saved me from the initial purge. Might come back in a while, but if it doesn't, I'm not going through the effort to get back in. Lemmy could use more users anyways.

didn't realize this past was about boost for reddit not lemmy, I almost thought there was a real problem.

Same here. I guess this will finally stop my reddit habit.

Same, even with the custom API key. Guess we're gonna have to spoof the user agent too.

I tried that but didn't work for me either

Looks like Reddit blocked it.

RedReader is working.

You can use revanced to patch it, though it takes a bit of googling and tinkering. I did this with rif a while ago and it's worked perfectly since.

Been dead for me since the apps were ganked.

[โ€“] Lulzagna@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago

It kept working if you were a moderator

[โ€“] Lulzagna@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

Same here, just died today

[โ€“] jasep@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

Relay via Revanced is still working

[โ€“] kia@lemmy.ca 2 points 14 hours ago

Getting the same error.

[โ€“] Traister101@lemmy.today -2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Oh no

Just kidding I don't care. If anything it makes me happy

[โ€“] Exulion@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

Damn, I was hoping it was just a hitch.
