It lasted nearly 2 weeks longer than I had anticipated. First it slowed and now it's finally dead. "Error 429 - Too many requests" is the message I'm greeted with.
Thanks Ruben for your work. I wish I had known the Boost app earlier.
Im now eagerly awaiting Boost for Lemmy.

shame it's wasted on me, as i'm only using to check my own old content since i moved here
