I’ve been using Boost(s) since the APIcalypse since I mod a dead subreddit. A few hours ago the app stopped showing content and started showing errors. Is it just a me thing or is this more general?

Yep. I kept baconreader installed with an API patch so when I click on a reddit link I didn’t have to interact with their horrible interface, earlier this week I clicked one and the app still worked, now it doesn’t. When I was switching being able to continue using my app was a godsend, now I won’t even bother with changing my User-Agent lmao.

I tried using the official app, even after using revanced to patch out the ads it’s just so bad

Hard to tell with that glitchy site. They’re too busy updating code for addictive engagement and weaponized greed to worry about a good user experience.

I’m using the two Boosts as well (for Lemmy & for Reddit ReVanced patch). I have the same problem, but it looks like it’s something that affects more stuff than just Boost.

The official status website doesn’t currently say anything.

Yeah, having trouble with Sync today too. Although it’s bound to be a high traffic day today anyway with the news.

Update (if you are using the ReVanced patch): PR is ready, ReVanced just has to approve it and release a new patches version.

Edit: The patch has been released

Edit 2: It’s working
