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?

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

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

Thank you so much!

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

Not working for me sadly.

[-] pm_me_weird_thoughts@lemm.ee 1 points 28 minutes ago

Initially it also only partially worked for me (couldnt login) bcz i had a mistake in authentication url. Later i followed the guide precisely step by step and it worked.

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.

[-] Yxf@lemm.ee 12 points 11 hours ago

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

[-] ThisSeriesIsFalse@lemmy.ca 9 points 10 hours ago

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.

[-] ademir@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 6 hours ago

me too lol

[-] CascadingSymmetry@mander.xyz 13 points 15 hours ago

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

[-] Max_P@lemmy.max-p.me 8 points 15 hours ago

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

[-] batshit@lemmings.world 3 points 14 hours ago

I tried that but didn't work for me either

[-] voracread@lemmy.world 8 points 15 hours ago

Looks like Reddit blocked it.

RedReader is working.

[-] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

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.

[-] kia@lemmy.ca 3 points 15 hours ago

Getting the same error.

[-] Lulzagna@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

Same here, just died today

[-] Exulion@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Damn, I was hoping it was just a hitch.

[-] jasep@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Relay via Revanced is still working
