3rd party app for Reddit, Boost, is still functioning well after July 1st

Some users wonder if the dev will be charged for having it still up, others argue Reddit can't charge him without having signed a contract. Everyone is confused as to why the API change hasn't made it inoperable.... #RedditMigration

Are you willing to test. If Boost is working it's a matter of any day it will shut off. Boost Dev is already making a lemmy app. Reddit is gonna die and hard!

I can't wait for the Lemmy Boost app. Wish kbin had an API so there'd be apps for it as well though.

@Jcb2016 Good news… at least two kbin apps are in the works. Follow @dansup for their Kbam app, and @hariette for their Artemis app. Artemis sounds like it’ll be heavily Apollo inspired, whereas Kbam is doing something a bit different.

I swear I have a kbin app called /kbin that got advertised to me here. For Android.

This is a fancy bookmark from wherever your browser is. I have the same "app" and so do people who use Firefox on iOS. What you're looking at is essentially the same thing as kbin on the mobile internet.

The apps in development will have other QoL features that will be more similar to Apollo (but I hope more similar to Infinity for Android).

Just an FYI, you don’t have to have Firefox on iOS to have the web app. It works with standard Safari as well.
