Joey for Reddit was my reddit client of choice for several years now. There never was any announcement from the dev regarding the future of Joey.

So there were speculations if he made a deal with reddit and would continue with a subscription tier.

Boost however officially announced they would shut down with the API changes coming.

I just checked and both apps are still going strong.

Shouldn’t they have stopped working on June 30th?

Amy idea what’s going on?

    I believe some smaller apps are able to continue operating as long as the usage stays within the limits of their individual API key. Since Joey has a smaller userbase, it may take longer for them to hit a 429: ‘Too many requests’.

    Also, some apps that have talked to reddit with a focus on accessibility for disabled users have been given an exemption from the API changes.
