Boost for Reddit finally stopped for me today. RIP

People who are still on Reddit, are like people who are still on X.

No I don't mean twitter, I mean X the drug. Y'all mother f**ers are on literal drugs I tell you.
- As soon as lemmy has a larger user base (or boost dies for good) I'll kick it. There are so many communities on Reddit that don't exist here, even though lemmy is obviously better.
  
  That's why I posted a log about my 3D printer repair in /c/3DPrinting earlier - because I want to put the content here that starts to show up in google searches.
- There are a ton of specific communities on Reddit that don't really exist anywhere else. Like, Lemmy is fine if all you want is anarcho-socialist Linux users but there's a subreddit for my hometown, some specific weird apps I use, my favorite video games, the machines I use at work, etc. Until Lemmy can branch past just people who use it for ideological reasons it won't replace Reddit.
  
  As long as people with specific interests insist on going back to reddit though, it won't be able to do that. There are some specific video game communities (especially for newer releases like Baldurs Gate 3, Helldivers, etc) btw
- I spent the last of my time over there making sure Reddit moderators knew what I thought of them
  
  Wait you were mad when the subs went dark or mad at the reddit admins. The mods aren't the issue over there(well not all of them).
  
  Good on ya! I know how hard it is to break the addiction.
Hey, there will be updated patches available very soon! You'll have to use revanced manager and hopefully should work again.
- Do you have any details on what broke / needs patching after today's change?
  
  Edit:
  
  Don't worry, I found it.
  
  https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-patches/pull/3253
- Huh, do you have a link about that? I am interested in something like this for Sync for Reddit.
  
  Sure, here you go:

  Once updated patches are released on Revanced manager, follow the process of getting an OAuth token from reddit preferences (if not already) and patch it.
Same :/
It is working again, Reddit fixed the issue
- And it seems to be broken again this morning.
It's mostly working again! The only thing not working for me right now is the posts tab on a user's profile.
Check out the oldlander addon for Firefox.
Don't wish to jinx it but it appears to be working again.
- In all honesty after it went down on Reddit I am not looking back. I kinda feel a little refreshed being in Lemmy now.
  
  Post more! We need more active users!
same.
Time for web browser shortcut to old.reddit.com
