Some users wonder if the dev will be charged for having it still up, others argue Reddit can't charge him without having signed a contract. Everyone is confused as to why the API change hasn't made it inoperable.

Why is Boost still working?

Infinity is still working too.

@Rohbtc Fun fact: There's an app in the works that looks exactly like Infinity with the difference that this one works with Lemmy and Kbin.

Is called Beyond and soon will be releasing. It's being developed by @brunofin.

Is this only happening for Boost?

I hope Reddit isn't going to send @rmayayo some stupid bill for the app still working

Relay is also still working and the developer (dBrandy) plans a subscription model

[–] Eavolution@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

dBrady* although dBrandy sounds very amusing.

RedReader was still working, but then again I don't think the app developer planned on shutting it down on July 1st.

[–] Macabre@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, RedReader is one of the apps that had an accessibility exemption due to it being so good with its accessibility features. The official Reddit app doesn't have those features, so Reddit knew they would get sued if they didn't allow some 3rd party apps to fill in that need.

This is very strange.

[–] Kraiden@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Uh... Addendum... Why TF is RIF suddenly working again?

I can't log in, but I can see unauthed content

[–] danisth@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

The iOS app I was using (DarkRed) was working until a few hours ago. Now my feed is empty so goodbye Reddit on my phone.

[–] error404@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Boost still working for me. Just checked

[–] victron@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Hell yeah! For the past 2 days I was wondering why it kept working! I've been watching some po.... posts in Boost, for... research purposes.
