    I haven’t visited reddit since boost stopped working a few days after the API change. Filled the void mostly with twitter. Don’t miss it at all.

        You stayed on Reddit after boost stopped? I just couldn’t force myself to use that shitty app. Not judging there are things I would definitely like to use it for but can’t stand that app.

        You can patch boost to work again with Android 10+ though there’s a tutorial somewhere thinking of using that for things I can’t yet find here

          Read-only (without nsfw) still works in RiF, I open that from Google searches or I’ll go to the website, when I’m looking for specific things. But other than that it’s been all Lemmy for me since late June.

            Not only is it a shit fest but I’ve noticed that now they’ve taken one out of Twitter and Facebook’s playbook and on mobile all search result content just directs me to download the app which is really irritating. I refuse to even download that shitty app.

            Fortunately on mobile I was able to open desktop version to read an old article I needed but on computer iirc I couldn’t get it to display anything even though I was already on the desktop version.

            Every change they’re making is pissing off the user base, spez must be wanting to clean it up and sell to advertisers ir something

      Glad to see my fellow boost people around. Also haven’t visited reddit since boost stopped working. The boost app can be patched to work but… I’m just sick of Reddit and don’t want to support it. Can’t wait for Boost for Lemmy! Jerboa is great but miss my boost

        Lemmy is basically an implementation of mastodon, I thought? I prefer Nostr because it is more censorship resistant but the community isn’t quite there yet.

          Specifically it is an implementation of something known as activitypub, which connects the entire fediverse, services from mastodon and akkoma to pixefed and peertube to lemmy and kbin
