🎉🚀

Now that's a seamless switch between platforms!

Ad-free already purchased!

One feature that'd be nice to have is the ability to add other instances as guest accounts.

Needed to change the icon colour to help differentiate the apps 👌

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I switched the Reddit one to greyscale right after.

Too bad they can't update the Reddit one to add an icon for the rocket on a Reddit tombstone 🤭

I'd say make it a crashed rocket

Quick question. I thought Reddit's API price debacle (the entire reason I'm here instead) forced Boost for Reddit to shut down, or at the very least charge a high price. I'm surprised to see it still working. What exactly is going on?

Custom API keys

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So what's the effect of this?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

API keys is what identifies the client/application. So basically, Reddit sees it as me using a personal custom app or script, and it's therefore not blocked.

They didn't shut down the API, they just made it prohibitively expensive to use. For most people, that falls into the free tier.
