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.

Why is Boost still working?

    Exactly this. There is now actual conversarion and I’m finding interesting content again.

      I’m struggling to find as much interesting content as I did on Reddit. BUT I am much more easily finding pleasant conversations. And that I think is more important.

      I’m posting more here than I did on Reddit because I want to be the change I want! Also I’m still learning to navigate this place too. I like it though.

        I’m having a different experience with the content but can understand where you are coming from. I spent a lot of time searching out the niche communities I’m interested in and subscribing across all the instances i can find. Trying to actually post more too and encourage others.

        The conversation aspect is so true though. It’s been the most present surprise and is part of what’s driving me to engage and start posting.

        The bots posted most of the interesting content in Reddit, and it’s unhealthy to have a constant stream of “interesting” content to browse through. For the time being, this seems much more organic content, and there is actually a bottom to hit in terms of content which makes me want to do something besides endlessly scroll.
