I was just browsing and suddenly couldn't comment, couldn't load... everything returns an Error 500: Internal Server something. Is this an issue on Reddit's end, or is Boost finally dead like the rest?

Has Reddit usage gone down in the past few weeks since the API change or has it returned to normal?

[โ€“] [email protected] -3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah.. lemmy has little to no activity on most communities besides meme stuff..

[โ€“] MdRuckus 21 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You need to find some new communities. My subscribe feed is loaded up every time I open the app. I have zero reason to go reddit.

There's barely anything here for what I mainly use reddit for. I use reddit mostly for sports conversation. The sports communities here are dead. There's game threads for baseball games that have zero comments aside from the game day bots posting pitching changes and scoring updates.

Lol downvoted for the truth? -- Seriously, yesterday's game thread for the Orioles. 9 comments. 8 are bot announcements on pitching changes and 1 is the orioles hitting a 2 run home run.

Lies, lemmy is a dead site. Even the communities I'm in average maybe 1 post a day.

[โ€“] MdRuckus 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're lame then. I have way more communities on my feed than I ever did on reddit. You just don't understand the fediverse. Thanks for pointing it out.

[โ€“] RaulitoElLobito -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lol, I'm well aware how it works it just sucks, people hyping it up to be something it's not is all it is.

[โ€“] TrickDacy 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No one is forcing you to stay here. Maybe go have some spez spooge?

[โ€“] RaulitoElLobito 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm using both, that doesn't mean that lemmy doesn't suck though. Stop pretending it's something great.

[โ€“] TrickDacy 0 points 2 years ago

Lol sucks but checks constantly. You might have addiction issues. No shame in it, I do too.

Lemmy is actually great, stop projecting your negativity onto others in an attempt to invalidate other views.

Same here. My understanding is that reddit is quietly allowing 3rd party apps for anyone that is or was previously a moderator because of the mod tools that the official app is lacking. As a former mod, apparently I get to keep it, at least until they change their mind.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Probably what's happening, kind of ironic when you think about this whole debacle

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm a former mod, too. (I created a subreddit years ago as a meme and almost immediately abandoned it.) I'm still able to use Boost for Reddit. Though I'm limiting my usage by a lot.

Yay for ReVanced client ID patches

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

no patches, I still have the same app which used to be in the play store and it still operates normally

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Still working fine here, too, but only on my two mod alts. My non-mod account just gets some kind of "request exceeded" error.

[โ€“] GiddyGap 5 points 2 years ago

What's reddit?

[โ€“] Crystal_Shards64 5 points 2 years ago

It died for me a couple weeks ago

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yep, it literally dissappeared from the Play Store.

[โ€“] shashi154263 1 points 2 years ago

No, I'm still using it.
