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?

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

Works again after revanced patch.

Did revanced manager change? I just downloaded the latest version on my new phone and I don't have the ability to patch an app not listed?

Cant really say anything about this. I have 1.23.3. It worked on this version for me. I dont know if its the latest one or one of the older versions

Bug report is getting a little spicy.

Kinda crazy the devs shut down wchill's patches and insist on the more fragile "lets generate a random user agent".

The redirect URL and user agent manual spoof is much more reliable because at least it really does look like someone's custom app, and closes options for them in the future to block it again.

Replying to this for visibility. This worked for me. Took less then 5 minutes.

Thank you so much!

edit: huh... just realized your username...

Youre welcome :) .. lol u also have similar username

[–] Kon@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 month ago

Did you put the user agent data exactly like in the guide? Cuz i still get 403 with it

[–] Max_P@lemmy.max-p.me 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] batshit@lemmings.world 1 points 1 month ago

I tried that but didn't work for me either

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.

I made a subreddit just to become a mod and I was able to stay on boost. But I'm yesterday the app died :(
