Posting here since the boost sub on Reddit is completely locked.
As of a few hours ago the Boost for reddit app is giving me 403 errors and won’t load anything at all. I’ve been continuing to use Boost for Reddit since the app-ocolypse since im a mod. But it seems like it might actually be dead now?
Can anyone else confirm?
Thank God I wasn’t the only one.
Same! I really thought i hit the lottery when I randomly used it a year after it shut down. I thought wow how many people could still be using this after that long. I just found everyone.
didn’t realize this past was about boost for reddit not lemmy, I almost thought there was a real problem.
Ok, so not just me. Damn. I use it a lot daily and I hate the official Reddit app and site.
It was thanks to boost i learned about Lemmy too
This was the reason I switched to Lemmy. Still transitioning, but hopefully the community grows on here.
Works again after revanced patch.
https://github.com/wchill/revanced-patchesReplying to this for visibility. This worked for me. Took less then 5 minutes.
Thank you so much!
edit: huh… just realized your username…
Did revanced manager change? I just downloaded the latest version on my new phone and I don’t have the ability to patch an app not listed?
Cant really say anything about this. I have 1.23.3. It worked on this version for me. I dont know if its the latest one or one of the older versions
Apparently there are two ReVanced manager apps… I was looking for the one on youtubevanced.gg and not revnced.net…
youtubevanced.gg is definitely some sort of malware. It redirected me to a “your computer is infected” scam.
The only official one is neither of those sites, it’s http://revanced.app/. Anything else is probably a version patched with malware.
I did this the other day, can confirm no issues by following wchill’s guide to install the patch.
Not working for me sadly.
Initially it also only partially worked for me (couldnt login) bcz i had a mistake in authentication url. Later i followed the guide precisely step by step and it worked.
I followed the guide step by step and i still get 403 blocked. The faq says I’ve messed up the user agent text but I’ve copy paste it directly from the guide and only changed my username.
android:com.username.reddit:v1.0 (by /u/username)
(using my own username)So it looks like that
android:com.MyName.reddit:v1.0 (by /u/MyName
You’d want something like this:
android:com.username.reddit:v1.0 (by /u/Kon)
Don’t change that first username
For what it’s worth, I changed both usernames and it worked.
