The Boost for Reddit app still worked for a while after the big shutdown with workarounds, like creating a mod account or using revanced.
Not anymore, as of today, the Boost for Reddit app is completely 100% dead now.
Goodbye reddit forever, hello lemmy
Edit: Working again
Reddit did some change in the API that breaks many apps. As far as I know they are aware of the issue and will fix it. More info here: https://www.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/1d3spoc/error_getting_submitted_with_mobile_useragent/
I misread your title and thought you were saying that the Boost for Lemmy app was now dead. I’m glad I was mistaken.
I like lemmy but reddit is still difficult to replace due to lack of content and active communities. But I ain’t using the official app so I guess here we are.
You get used to it. Sorting by New and challenging yourself to kick off conversations helps.
I’d also point out that less content has become a good thing for me.
Less endless doom scrolling, more contributing to discussions and touching grass.
Its getting better… you’ll be a +1 the activity and who wants bot or toxic activity anyway. Oh and the mods are generally much nicer here
Same. I’m looking around at the KBin instance and it’s in bad shape, some of the communities are in. The admin is MIA due to IRL issues with health so he can’t be around to help. Moderators are abandoning already weakened communities that are now stuffed with bots and spam content.
The only real lively community is over in Lemmy’s instances. But, the Fediverse still yet has a long ways to go, it needs more maturity as an alternative and needs more time to gather membership that’ll hopefully be comparable to reddit’s but not in quantity but quality.
The fediverse looks a lot different from a lemmy server than it does from Kbin, fyi. There’s a lot of stuff that doesn’t get federated properly or in a reasonable time period, leading to fewer visible posts and discussions that look a lot emptier than they actually are.
I still use reddit when I’m looking for very specific information, because reddit still is an amazing database of content/info. Many of my searches kinda end up on reddit that way. But I don’t post there anymore and I block all ads. So… I’m still using it but providing nothing in return. I can live with that.
Reddit been dead for awhile, homie. Welcome.
I bought Boost for Lemmy on day 1 and come once in a while but let’s be honest people haven’t migrated off Reddit (and likely never will ) so outside of a few very specific subs there is barely anything for me to read over here…
It’s very tech focused over here, but that makes a lot of sense when you consider only tech aligned people can figure out how to get it all working as it is.
I kinda like the fact that it’s only tech savvy people on here tbh. Kinda like it used to be back in the day, before everyone in the world and their cousin figured out how to get online.
Normaloids ruined the internet. It’s nice to have a niche little corner of the web that they don’t know about yet so they can’t come and spoil it (yet) with all their endless pointless bickering and recycled political garbage reposting. Long live the 90s web 2.0 revival 😛
Welcome! Lemmy is a pretty fun place.
