Seems like the feeds are more active and I’m not hitting things with 3 upvotes 20 minutes into my scroll. Did Connect change something, did Lemmy or are we just seeing some population increase from Boost?

    A lot of us made accounts, or at least started regularly using the platform, when Boost was released. Previously there wasn’t a client for my phone that I liked much and I reddit/lemmy almost exclusively on mobile these days.

    I think you’ll see even more activity when reddit actually slams the door on 3rd party clients. Most still work for now provided your account meets some annoying minor criteria.

        Yup! Weirdly though I’m not and everything works fine, I’m not sure what I did to trigger that flag.

          Odd, I haven’t bothered trying. I did try patching sync once It didn’t work and I didn’t try further.

            I haven’t had to patch Boost at all, it just keeps chugging along. I’m sure it’ll implode sooner or later when reddit actually bans all of the currently used API keys.
