At least with Boost (my favorite reddit & Lemmy app).
This lets you circumvent ads/recommendations and other bs, too.
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!
My Boost has been throwing
403 Blockedfor like a week now… My Reddit usage has significantly dropped.https://github.com/wchill/revanced-patches
A guide on fixing that.
Ahhh, I missed the part where I have to patch a clean app and not my pre-patched version. Idk if I’ll go back to it though - it’s driven me to use Lemmy more, and it looks like a lot of communities are making their way over here - many more since the last time I looked.
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.

At least spez doesn’t profit from those
How do you figure that?
They run ads and subscriptions to afford the API, which is paid to spez.
This is just incorrect. Nobody pays for API in Boost, it uses the API directly. The official app was shut down after the API got restricted.
infinity patched with revanced still works great too
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.
still works, this is what I use. I do like that the app is still being updated too, I used boost and sync previously but they got more annoying to use for me over time with errors slowly popping up
Reminder: nobody gives a shit about reddit
This is a reddit community…
That moment with a person with “reddit” in their username claims nobody gives a shit about reddit
