Joey for Reddit was my reddit client of choice for several years now. There never was any announcement from the dev regarding the future of Joey.

So there were speculations if he made a deal with reddit and would continue with a subscription tier.

Boost however officially announced they would shut down with the API changes coming.

I just checked and both apps are still going strong.

Shouldn’t they have stopped working on June 30th?

Amy idea what’s going on?

I can’t say about all of them, but the RiF developer clarified it for the verge, taken from this link :

If RIF is still working for you when you’re logged out, here’s why.

“When users are logged out, the app is still working because it does not use the OAuth client credentials while logged out,” developer Andrew Shu tells The Verge in an email. However, he expects that the app will stop working in this way soon.

AlienBlue still works 😂 You can download it from your purchase history in the App store, you just can’t log in.

You can download its shambling corpse too. Just search for ‘Reddit’ on the App Store.

Sync is no longer working at all, only error messages, maybe they didn’t revoke their keys, that might be a nasty surprise for those devs when they get the bill.

I don’t think there’s a lot of competence at Reddit headquarters right now…

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
