scottywh OP , in Are 3rd party apps finally really dead?

Well, mine started working again this morning before I got around to trying to fix it…

I’m so glad I read this comment. Yesterday I just happened to decide to try and patch RIF and was super disappointed when it didn’t work, but now it does! Works just like it used to, I’m so happy

SkyezOpen ,

What changed that the apps are working again? I gave up and joined lemmy when rif died, haven’t checked since.

scottywh OP ,

They only work if you’ve previously patched them with revanced or if you’re a mod.

Same here, I patched boost, still didn’t work, so I gave up. Then this morning I got notifications from it and it was working.

    Why doesn’t the app just let you enter the credentials in a settings page or something like that?

    can , in Are 3rd party apps finally really dead?

    So it’s not just me. I only used it for the occasional search result and those times so this didn’t fait affect me but this can only be good for Lemmy.

    Each month, I’m again reassured of my choice to just avoid Reddit. The only problem is it holds so many answers to problems. Always shows up in search results, and it’s usually the best answer out there.

    It’s still a good resource for stuff like that but I’m not contributing to it.

    I am still hopeful that the Fediverse will take over that role soon. I mostly lurked on Reddit, but I’ve pushed myself to make the kind of posts and comments here that I liked on Reddit.

    proudblond ,

    I’m not a poster but I comment here way more than I did on Reddit. Some of that is because it feels a little “safer” to comment here. Hopefully that lasts, though I fear it won’t.

    z3rOR0ne ,

    You can use alternative front ends like Stealth on Android, or just use a redirect extension to a libreddit instance when finding answers for things. I personally still find good answers on reddit when researching something I know little about, so use these as it cuts out a lot of the noise from the official page/app.

    I expect the quality of the content to eventually decline there, but in the meanwhile this helps at least for browsing.

    hedgehog ,

    The list of instances you shared was updated recently, but I tried the one url in it (the rest are onion links or i2p, and are older versions of libreddit to boot) and the page didn’t even load.

    Libreddit has been discontinued for nearly a year due to not working thanks to Reddit’s API changes, though about a month ago they updated their repo to direct people to RedLib, which allegedly does work. That said, I tried the official instance and got an error. However, it’s being actively developed and looks easy to self-host. I don’t know if there’s a list of unofficial public instances.

    z3rOR0ne ,

    Most instances had an outage yesterday I noticed. I’ll grant it’s not perfect, and thanks for clarifying, I had been using, but forgot to mention, redlib as a redirect.

    Self hosting is obviously the best option if you can, I just use the instances personally and 99% of the time those links have just worked for me, but I can’t speak on other people’s experience with them.

    I’m just glad there’s an alternative front end at all and there are those putting their instances out there.

    pirat ,

    I don’t know if there’s a list of unofficial public instances.

    Found this section within the GitHub page you’re linking to.

    That seems wise.

    dingus , in Are 3rd party apps finally really dead?

    Check out Red Reader if you use Android. It’s alive and well. I think because it was made for blind users that Reddit didn’t kill it.

    scottywh OP ,

    That is 100% the reason but I’ve tried it and it’s so bad I can’t bring myself to actually use it… (Unless I get really desperate for that fix at least 😂)

    kia , in Are 3rd party apps finally really dead?

    Boost seems to not work for me as well. Looks like I’ll basically never be using reddit anymore…

    What happened to old.reddit? I haven’t been back in a few months, but that was the last option that wasn’t a total pain in the ass.

    scottywh OP ,

    It was reverted but my bet is not for long:

    thayer , in Are 3rd party apps finally really dead?

    Yep, it seems Boost died today. I don’t frequent reddit these days, but my wife is still a mod there and she was using Boost for moderation right up until last night.

    On the odd occasion that I do go to my old subs, they’re filled with repost bots and low value comments.

    scottywh OP ,

    Looks like reddit in a round about way is blocking user agents with the word Android in the string according to someone in the post below.

    lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/12747674

    I care a whole lot less than I did last year when this saga began though so whatever I guess…

    otter ,

    I know a few people that still stick around to moderate some places. If you have recommendations for what she switches to, please do share!

    So far I’ve seen RedReader as an open source app for viewing, but it’s quite limited so I’m not sure what it would be like for moderation

    thayer ,

    Unfortunately, I don’t think there are any moderation alternatives on mobile, nor will there likely ever be. She’s going to have to start using the official app or stop moderating on mobile altogether.

    scottywh OP ,

    RedReader is pretty bad… I don’t think I have the motivation to force myself to get used to how different it is even just for browsing really… Hard to imagine having to use it to moderate anything (if it were even possible… I don’t think it is though).

    I used boost and I was wondering why it didn’t beef it when a lot of apps did.

    Fuck it no more mobile reddit I guess lmao

    Any summary bot ?

    Just make a disposable email (use 10 minutes email) and sign up with a random name.

    It worked for now until they block 10 tmp email .

    Max_P , in Reddit full of political bias
    @Max_P@lemmy.max-p.me avatar

    That’s the eternal cycle of social media. It starts nice and then it get flooded by MAGA extremists until it becomes a cesspool of hate and disinformation.

    See: Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, TikTok is well on that path as well.

    eveninghere OP ,

    That meme I’m talking about is actually from Biden supporters.
