r/BoostForReddit: A place for discussion, requests and bug reports of the Android Reddit app Boost for Reddit

Some users wonder if the dev will be charged for having it still up, others argue Reddit can’t charge him without having signed a contract. Everyone is confused as to why the API change hasn’t made it inoperable.

Why is Boost still working?

    The thing is that it really is no longer about 3rd party apps working or not, rather, the level of disrespect displayed from Reddit towards us, their userbase. That’s why I’m not going back.

      Exactly. Relay user here and it’ll continue to function but…

      1. Fuck spez
      2. I don’t care to support reddit anymore
      3. Reddit’s content for my feed is already turning to garbage. I’m already finding kbin and lemmy better.

      Good riddins.

        Exactly this. There is now actual conversarion and I’m finding interesting content again.

          I’m struggling to find as much interesting content as I did on Reddit. BUT I am much more easily finding pleasant conversations. And that I think is more important.

          I’m posting more here than I did on Reddit because I want to be the change I want! Also I’m still learning to navigate this place too. I like it though.

            The bots posted most of the interesting content in Reddit, and it’s unhealthy to have a constant stream of “interesting” content to browse through. For the time being, this seems much more organic content, and there is actually a bottom to hit in terms of content which makes me want to do something besides endlessly scroll.

      Exactly. Even if spez rolled everything back, I’m not going back.

      All trust in Reddit is now destroyed because of Spez.

        Fact is even if Reddit rolled back the changes it’d be the classic “let’s see how far we can push our user base then we’ll roll that back to acceptable levels while slowly pushing those limits through later updates” strategy

      Same. I used to use the official app because when I started using Reddit, I was not aware of third party apps. Then it was just inertia. After this fiasco started, I started trying various apps and used sync for the last 3 weeks. Now i’m here.
