Yep, it seems Boost died today. I don't frequent reddit these days, but my wife is still a mod there and she was using Boost for moderation right up until last night.
On the odd occasion that I do go to my old subs, they're filled with repost bots and low value comments.
Looks like reddit in a round about way is blocking user agents with the word Android in the string according to someone in the post below.

I care a whole lot less than I did last year when this saga began though so whatever I guess...
I used boost and I was wondering why it didn't beef it when a lot of apps did.
Fuck it no more mobile reddit I guess lmao
I know a few people that still stick around to moderate some places. If you have recommendations for what she switches to, please do share!
So far I've seen RedReader as an open source app for viewing, but it's quite limited so I'm not sure what it would be like for moderation
Unfortunately, I don't think there are any moderation alternatives on mobile, nor will there likely ever be. She's going to have to start using the official app or stop moderating on mobile altogether.
RedReader is pretty bad... I don't think I have the motivation to force myself to get used to how different it is even just for browsing really... Hard to imagine having to use it to moderate anything (if it were even possible... I don't think it is though).
