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?

Infinity is still working too.

@Rohbtc Fun fact: There's an app in the works that looks exactly like Infinity with the difference that this one works with Lemmy and Kbin.

Is called Beyond and soon will be releasing. It's being developed by @brunofin.

I hope Reddit isn't going to send @rmayayo some stupid bill for the app still working

Relay is also still working and the developer (dBrandy) plans a subscription model

dBrady* although dBrandy sounds very amusing.

RedReader was still working, but then again I don't think the app developer planned on shutting it down on July 1st.

[-] Macabre@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, RedReader is one of the apps that had an accessibility exemption due to it being so good with its accessibility features. The official Reddit app doesn't have those features, so Reddit knew they would get sued if they didn't allow some 3rd party apps to fill in that need.

This is very strange.

Uh... Addendum... Why TF is RIF suddenly working again?

I can't log in, but I can see unauthed content

I also still have access with synced after patching it in ReVanced manager. The official app unfortunately died :(
