Thanks, I didn’t know revanced was a thing.
I only enjoyed old vanced for briefly in its last days. So good to hear theres still options like this around.
I only enjoyed old vanced for briefly in its last days
Those days are still going. The death of Youtube Vanced was greatly exaggerated. It didn’t die. It just got beat in the face with a baseball bat and now can’t tell what’s north. I have been using the app since it’s “death”. Honestly it doesn’t make much sense. Some days it’ll say “Can’t watch this here, can only watch on official app” and then other days its like “I am the official app.”
Honestly ReVanced is quite a bit more extensible than Vanced and works very reliably. Plus it’s open source and you can download it off GitHub.
The manager makes downloading patches about as easy as installing Vanced with the manager a few years ago.
I’m sure someone will add a derrow patch to Revanced very soon
I’ve used vanced and revanced since day one and always checked the stickied reddit post for any update notes before upgrading to the latest patch set. Revanced decided to migrate to Discord which is possibly the dumbest place they could have gone to (read: I don’t know how to use it to quickly find relevant patch notes and am angry about it), and I feel like updating to a new version is a crapshoot.
Do you know of a better place to find out which versions are compatible with the latest APK and where to get support if something breaks?
The Manager does a reasonable job identifying patches available for a given version. The Issues page on GitHub has a lot of the bugs laid out. The Releases tab also has the update notes and the website has the patch notes (including required version).
On the Discord, #announcements has the major update info. #support acts quite a lot like the old Reddit page where people post issues they’ve run into with threaded replies.
I agree having a ReVanced Lemmy page would be better than Discord but Discord Posts are shockingly usable imo. Chat and Off-Topic are obviously horrifically unsearchable chatrooms but also aren’t the only resources on the server.
