What you mean ? I use RedReader for 1 year now from F-Droid without any problems. But i started opting out due to USA shit. Thank god, they started making crazy shit over there now (Reddit company), people blocked, reported for up-voting, and other stuff.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

My Boost has been throwing 403 Blocked for like a week now... My Reddit usage has significantly dropped.
I've been using patched rif is fun for months now and it works well. It's useful for keeping in touch with some of the niche communities that are more active on Reddit than Lemmy.
My patched RIF stopped working just about a week or two ago. I keep getting the "blocked by security" message even after clearing all my data and logging back in again.
Oh boy I've always wanted to still use a site full of bots that doesn't respect its users and censors the shit out of everything!
While you didn’t post the rule-breaking content, not buying a Tesla is also considered a violation.
But then you would be using reddit.... gross.
Boost adds ads of its own.
At least spez doesn't profit from those
How do you figure that?
They run ads and subscriptions to afford the API, which is paid to spez.
This is just incorrect. Nobody pays for API in Boost, it uses the API directly. The official app was shut down after the API got restricted.
"after the API was restricted"
The restriction is 3rd party apps have to pay for API.
Here's the reddit post from Boost's developer. https://www.reddit.com/r/BoostForReddit/comments/13wstr2/with_apollo_facing_api_prices_upwards_of_20/
There are hacks that keep Boost working but the ads are Reddits.
Yes, I'm aware. It uses the API. There are no ads.
You don't even need to patch the Android app called Red Reader. It works by default. Not super pleasing to look at, but it has always done the job. I think they managed to squeak by the API shutdown thing because they are headed toward blind users, but sighted users can use it too.
Yeah Red Reader got a special exemption as an accessibility oriented app. I use it for whenever I need to check Reddit for something (typically football/soccer news). It's ugly as sin which is good because it makes me less inclined to stick around as long.
Yes, reddit started blacklisting specific user-agents. Many of the other apps worked fine until Monday for me.
infinity patched with revanced still works great too
There was also a way to build Infinity yourself using your own developer key from Reddit, not sure if that's still an option though. But that dev was very quick with a work around and Infinity users are barely affected by the API thing.
I deleted my Reddit account after a decade a couple of months ago but I used Boost the whole time I was on the site, even after they supposedly put the kibosh on third party apps. The only issue was that if I wanted to post anything that had an attachment I had to use the official Reddit app or website.
Reminder: nobody gives a shit about reddit
That moment when a person with "reddit" in their username claims nobody gives a shit about reddit
Talk about the post instead of attacking people directly. I can have whatever in my name and say "nobody cares you can still access reddit", it doesn't matter how you interpret my username. Reddit was once something else.
I don't care about the post, nor was I attacking anyone. I'm delighted by the irony of a user named RedditWanderer claiming that nobody cares about reddit on the /c/reddit community. That's all. Isn't that enough?
The c/reddit community is not for people who love reddit. Having reddit in your name doesn't mean you like or support reddit. There's no irony, youre just misunderstanding my username, the sub and just about everything else. Stop trying to make fun of people's usernames.
What I should have said was "reminder: nobody give a shit about going back to reddit" for the slow one's in the back looking to take things personally.
This is a reddit community...
This is a community about reddit discussion/news. Most posts are about how they censor, monetize and essentially wage war with their communities #luigi. I don't need "reminders" to go back.
They circumvent reddit ads by paying reddit directly for the API (using their own ads). It still funds reddit.
No, they don't.. I don't know why everyone seems to think that.
It's okay you'll never get it. Go back to feeding money to spez now
You seem nice
Their username also checks out
