Are 3rd party apps finally really dead? (lemmy.world)

Revanced & being a mod doesn't seem to matter anymore.

I can still view the front page but no comments, profile, individual subreddits, etcetera now.

This is the same for me on both Sync and Boost.

Surely, I can't be the only one.

Combined with their recent shenanigans with old.reddit.com I'm finally feeling more ready to just let it go finally because there is no freaking way I'm going to use new or their crummy ad_riddled app.

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.

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

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).
