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?

Can someone explain to me how the revance patches work? Do I need to download any revance app to apply them? Where is that app?

Sorry that I am an idiot.

Get revanced app from revanced.app. Download and install. Dont download from any other websites like revanced.net etc
Follow instructions precisely from https://github.com/wchill/revanced-patches
If you dont know how to do step 4 on the above link, its explained here https://github.com/KobeW50/ReVanced-Documentation/blob/main/Reddit-Client-ID-Guide.md#info OR here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wHvqQwCYdJrQg4BKlGIVDLksPN0KpOnJWniT6PbZSrI/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.dg2gcpgawdj5

Thank you! Though may this "fiasco" serve as a reminder that we are all better off building Lemmy into something better rather than keep engaging with reddit.

It's a wonderful aspiration, but I literally was the 3rd sign up on Reddit... No word of a lie, I actually emailed spez his own source code because he had his server misconfigured to report verbose errors.

Reddit has been a piece of shit from day one, it's always been a piece of shit, it will always be a piece of shit, people love pieces of shit.

And a real problem underlying is that people are shit.

So you cannot build any type of community until we learn as a tech community how to organize humans by intellectual capacity, instead of by interests.
