3rd party app for Reddit, Boost, is still functioning well after July 1st (www.reddit.com)

Some users wonder if the dev will be charged for having it still up, others argue Reddit can't charge him without having signed a contract. Everyone is confused as to why the API change hasn't made it inoperable.

Why is Boost still working?

I hope Reddit isn't going to send @rmayayo some stupid bill for the app still working

Infinity is still working too.

@Rohbtc Fun fact: There's an app in the works that looks exactly like Infinity with the difference that this one works with Lemmy and Kbin.

Is called Beyond and soon will be releasing. It's being developed by @brunofin.

Relay is also still working and the developer (dBrandy) plans a subscription model

dBrady* although dBrandy sounds very amusing.

A damn, didn't check what my autocorrect did.

RedReader was still working, but then again I don't think the app developer planned on shutting it down on July 1st.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, RedReader is one of the apps that had an accessibility exemption due to it being so good with its accessibility features. The official Reddit app doesn't have those features, so Reddit knew they would get sued if they didn't allow some 3rd party apps to fill in that need.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

This is very strange.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Uh... Addendum... Why TF is RIF suddenly working again?

I can't log in, but I can see unauthed content

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And still it continues to work... Any ideas anyone?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I checked the BoostForLemmy community, but there's no new posts discussing the matter.

Checked r/boost, it's literally all memes of people joking about using the official Reddit app when they're still using boost.

The dev only made a post on here advertising Boost for Lemmy, and never anything else. Apparently they aren't very active generally.

So yeah, no clue on my end.. sure curious to know what's going on though.
