At least with Boost (my favorite reddit & Lemmy app).

This lets you circumvent ads/recommendations and other bs, too.

    What you mean ? I use RedReader for 1 year now from F-Droid without any problems. But i started opting out due to USA shit. Thank god, they started making crazy shit over there now (Reddit company), people blocked, reported for up-voting, and other stuff.

    I’ve been using patched rif is fun for months now and it works well. It’s useful for keeping in touch with some of the niche communities that are more active on Reddit than Lemmy.

    My Boost has been throwing 403 Blocked for like a week now… My Reddit usage has significantly dropped.

    Oh boy I’ve always wanted to still use a site full of bots that doesn’t respect its users and censors the shit out of everything!

    You don’t even need to patch the Android app called Red Reader. It works by default. Not super pleasing to look at, but it has always done the job. I think they managed to squeak by the API shutdown thing because they are headed toward blind users, but sighted users can use it too.

      Yeah Red Reader got a special exemption as an accessibility oriented app. I use it for whenever I need to check Reddit for something (typically football/soccer news). It’s ugly as sin which is good because it makes me less inclined to stick around as long.

      Yes, reddit started blacklisting specific user-agents. Many of the other apps worked fine until Monday for me.

      There was also a way to build Infinity yourself using your own developer key from Reddit, not sure if that’s still an option though. But that dev was very quick with a work around and Infinity users are barely affected by the API thing.

    I deleted my Reddit account after a decade a couple of months ago but I used Boost the whole time I was on the site, even after they supposedly put the kibosh on third party apps. The only issue was that if I wanted to post anything that had an attachment I had to use the official Reddit app or website.

      That moment when a person with “reddit” in their username claims nobody gives a shit about reddit

        Talk about the post instead of attacking people directly. I can have whatever in my name and say “nobody cares you can still access reddit”, it doesn’t matter how you interpret my username. Reddit was once something else.

          I don’t care about the post, nor was I attacking anyone. I’m delighted by the irony of a user named RedditWanderer claiming that nobody cares about reddit on the /c/reddit community. That’s all. Isn’t that enough?

            The c/reddit community is not for people who love reddit. Having reddit in your name doesn’t mean you like or support reddit. There’s no irony, youre just misunderstanding my username, the sub and just about everything else. Stop trying to make fun of people’s usernames.

            What I should have said was “reminder: nobody give a shit about going back to reddit” for the slow one’s in the back looking to take things personally.

        This is a community about reddit discussion/news. Most posts are about how they censor, monetize and essentially wage war with their communities #luigi. I don’t need “reminders” to go back.

        They circumvent reddit ads by paying reddit directly for the API (using their own ads). It still funds reddit.
