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…
- Fuck spez
- I don’t care to support reddit anymore
- 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.
The r/blind mods said RedReader stopped working for them what a total clusterfuck to have the key accessible app not work while others are.
i guess no one saw that coming
Booooo
RedReader is working fine for me. Reddit itself is being flaky.
When the API shut off early, Apollo dev u/iamthatis (@[email protected]) revoked his token so I cannot see any of this; but I’m wondering if reddit isn’t pulling a silent reversal of this to stem the bleeding of users and content. There is a lot of useful stuff that has been deleted. The AMA staff resigning and all the stuff migrating to fedi. No matter how much f-u/spez tries to shout “This is fine”; the building is still burning all around him.
Bet they left turned access back on.
Which is… worst of both worlds?
Apollo dosnt work.
Apollo dev recorded and posted on twitter him deleting the API key
Are you willing to test. If Boost is working it’s a matter of any day it will shut off. Boost Dev is already making a lemmy app. Reddit is gonna die and hard!
I can’t wait for the Lemmy Boost app. Wish kbin had an API so there’d be apps for it as well though.
The API will come. It’s still very early days for the kbin project. It’s, uh, kind of alpha software.
They’re working on the kbin api stuff right now. It’sa priority. Also, check out Artemis magazine on kbin
reddit is going to continue on just fine lmfao, unreal how confused some people are
Reddit will be fine in the short term sure, but anyone who actually gave enough of a shit to put in the effort needed for it to work well have left or stated that they will no longer do anything more than the bare minimum. Reddit will still be around for a while, but it will never be the same place it was, and eventually will just become irrelevant as it’s overrun with trolls and scammers. I give it 3 - 5 more years before it disappears without fanfare and no one will care.
I’m not contributing much anymore with Apollo gone. The official mobile app doesn’t pull me in like Apollo did. I may be in the minority.
Infinity is still working too.
Is this only happening for Boost?
RIF works if you’re logged out. Logged in you get a 429 error.
RIF is also still working
(logout if it doesnt, i’ve never personally used it logged in)
Yup, working for me not logged in(because I deleted the accounts.)
Wat. Not for me
It’s only working for me if I’m not logged in.
Huh, it seems to have logged me out after the 30th and is still working now.
What does this mean though? Don’t want the dev to get chargedYeah I remember how they tried telling the Apollo dev that the bills won’t be due for 30 days so that was like giving them more time. I’d expect that any apps that are still open are going to get a bill in a month.
Narwhal is still open too, I pulled up a list of my subreddits to look for equivalents.
Apparently not, as someone else mentioned Relay is still running as well.
Joey is still working
I also still have access with synced after patching it in ReVanced manager. The official app unfortunately died :(
Maybe they’re just waiting until after the holiday weekend?
Same with Relay… I checked it to see what the dead so would look like and all the genetic frontage posts loaded in… It’ll be interesting to see what happens.
The author of relay put out a post saying that it’ll keep going for free while he decides what the subscription model is going to look like - it’s the top post in the sub ATM.
Was surprised with that choice, but it doesn’t change anything - not using it anymore regardless
