Did Boost for Reddit finally actually die?

I was just browsing and suddenly couldn't comment, couldn't load... everything returns an Error 500: Internal Server something. Is this an issue on Reddit's end, or is Boost finally dead like the rest?

- Yeah.. lemmy has little to no activity on most communities besides meme stuff..
  
  You need to find some new communities. My subscribe feed is loaded up every time I open the app. I have zero reason to go reddit.
- Has Reddit usage gone down in the past few weeks since the API change or has it returned to normal?
I'm getting the same but it looks like the issue is Reddit itself. The number of reports on down detector has skyrocketed.
- Ok yeah it's back. Seems like Reddit just had a hiccup. Everyone go back to your business :P
- Same here. My understanding is that reddit is quietly allowing 3rd party apps for anyone that is or was previously a moderator because of the mod tools that the official app is lacking. As a former mod, apparently I get to keep it, at least until they change their mind.
  
  Probably what's happening, kind of ironic when you think about this whole debacle
- Yay for ReVanced client ID patches
- Still working fine here, too, but only on my two mod alts. My non-mod account just gets some kind of "request exceeded" error.
What's reddit?
It died for me a couple weeks ago
Yep, it literally dissappeared from the Play Store.
No, I'm still using it.
