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?

Replying to this for visibility. This worked for me. Took less then 5 minutes.

Thank you so much!

edit: huh... just realized your username...

I did this the other day, can confirm no issues by following wchill's guide to install the patch.

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

[-] K3can@lemmy.radio 1 points 3 weeks ago

For what it's worth, I changed both usernames and it worked.

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?

[-] pm_me_weird_thoughts@lemm.ee 0 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] Dragod@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

Apparently there are two ReVanced manager apps... I was looking for the one on youtubevanced.gg and not revnced.net...

[-] savedbythezsh@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

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.

If in doubt I recommend looking at either Wikipedia or github for canonical links.

Revanced isn't big enough for a Wikipedia page but there github profile links to the official pages:

https://github.com/ReVanced

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

[-] Drax_@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

This was the reason I switched to Lemmy. Still transitioning, but hopefully the community grows on here.

[-] erotador@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago

didn't realize this past was about boost for reddit not lemmy, I almost thought there was a real problem.

[-] dotCody@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

Thank God I wasn't the only one.

[-] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

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.
