At least with Boost (my favorite reddit & Lemmy app).

This lets you circumvent ads/recommendations and other bs, too.

    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.
