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] 12 points 2 years ago

Not really Measurable because there is a astronomical bot influx...

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

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

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.

I'm getting the same but it looks like the issue is Reddit itself. The number of reports on down detector has skyrocketed.

Ok yeah it's back. Seems like Reddit just had a hiccup. Everyone go back to your business :P

It died for me a couple weeks ago

Its been almost a month since the reddit api is no longed available. So unfortunately yes Boost for Reddit is a dead project.

What's reddit?

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

Yep, it literally dissappeared from the Play Store.

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

No, I'm still using it.
