boost for reddit is still working
Anyone know why or how?
Screenshot so you don't have to give reddit your traffic, I took one for the team.
Basically they are too incompetent to make their own deadline.
9ReplyIt has finally stopped working for me. No more reddit, fuck u/spez
3ReplySometimes it hangs for a minute, I'm guessing that's part of the "changes within 24 hr" whereas total shutdown is coming "in the coming weeks."
But Lemmy's nicer anyway, I just use boost to browse r/boostforreddit, they've had great stuff after the 1st
2ReplyStill works for me

I'm not going back to reddit, even if it's working and if it continues to work in future.
8ReplyI noticed as well, but I've uninstalled and was significantly more productive this morning at work lol. I'm going to be using Lemmy going forward and see how it goes
8ReplyDoes anyone know if using Boost for Reddit right now will hurt Ruben? I will uninstall it immediately if that's the case.
8ReplyReddit has postponed dropping the old API from 1st of July to 5th of July, so things are expected to work until sometime tomorrow. As Boost still connects via the old API, there are no costs involved for the developer.
7ReplyI really, really, doubt that. This is also my first comment on Lemmy. I'm still getting the hang of it.
5ReplyWelcome to lemmy then!

Hey @rmayayo@lemmy.world, is this going to be problematic for you?
2ReplyI wouldn't expect a reply.

Moved to Lemmy for good and not looking back whether boost there works or not. Although it was boost that made reddit fun for me. Can't wait for boost for Lemmy!
8ReplyCame here to post this. I'm really just reading stuff on lemmy now as the communities build, but check boost every now and then. Still kicking.
Looking forward to boost for lemmy!
Edit - NSFW subs no longer work and initial site load is slow.
4ReplySame when I tried earlier. I'm all in on Lemmy now, and I don't want the dev to potentially get charged with API fees, so I just uninstalled anyways.
4ReplySurprisingly, Relay still opened fine and I was able to browse a bit.
I don't have any illusions about Reddit, I'm all in on Lemmy. But it is weird that it's past the deadline and apps are still functioning.
4ReplyThe contrast between Boost and the official app is so stark.
4ReplyNSFW Content is not being shown anymore on the Boost app. Rest of the app is working still.
If you're mod of any sub, NSFW content is still being shown in all subs.
3ReplyThey killed it today. If you manually browse to a nsfw sub it tells you to use the official app or the website.
Same results with relay.
Bye bye greedy fuckers.

I am not surprised. Reddit is really struggling these days, it will take them some days or weeks to update the API for these new changes.
3ReplyProbably because it's weekend and devs aren't working right now. So the changes will probably happen on Monday.
2ReplyIf the app wasn't update to stop working it still uses the developer API token (client_id), Infinity is also working.
Just don't update the app a continue using while it works.
2ReplyVery weird how Boost’s API credentials are still working, but other apps were shut down unexpectedly on the hour. The Apollo dev still had to delete his API key for the app to stop crashing, so the credentials were still there.
Either Reddit was deliberately very selective with which apps had to go, or spez had it done manually and didn’t make a full list of apps lol
3ReplyIf the dev don't revoke the token user can continue to use their apps.

Reddit didn't "kill the apps", only charge the API, if devs continue to use their API the bill will be send to them

YouTube videos in the internal video player started failing for me, maybe he's starting to expire the tokens for the integrations
