Posting here since the boost sub on Reddit is completely locked.

As of a few hours ago the Boost for reddit app is giving me 403 errors and won’t load anything at all. I’ve been continuing to use Boost for Reddit since the app-ocolypse since im a mod. But it seems like it might actually be dead now?

Can anyone else confirm?

    Initially it also only partially worked for me (couldnt login) bcz i had a mistake in authentication url. Later i followed the guide precisely step by step and it worked.

      I followed the guide step by step and i still get 403 blocked. The faq says I’ve messed up the user agent text but I’ve copy paste it directly from the guide and only changed my username.

      android:com.username.reddit:v1.0 (by /u/username) (using my own username)

      So it looks like that android:com.MyName.reddit:v1.0 (by /u/MyName

        You’d want something like this:

        android:com.username.reddit:v1.0 (by /u/Kon)

        Don’t change that first username

          For what it’s worth, I changed both usernames and it worked.

          That’s what i did the first time and still got 403 blocked so then i tried changing both usernames.

          I tried it again now with the same result. I don’t understand why it’s blocking me
