    The original used to be my favourite reddit client, so I’m really happy to see there’s a semi-fuctional lemmy fork.

    So this means another lemmy app for me to install. I’m still switching between apps

    Just downloaded and holy crap, this thing is smooth as butter. Already more functional than that $115 closed-source alternative. Instant switch for me.

    First comment from Infinity for Lemmy!

    Infinity was my app of choice for like 2ish years, it still works with Reddit atm but when I moved to Lemmy the only real app was Jerboa, and man it was not the same

    I delt with it tho, in the hopes that one day Infinity would be for Lemmy

    And omg ITS BACK BAYBE

    I am way too stocked over a Lemmy app, but man Infinity is lightning fast, super smooth, and beyond customizable! So I won’t be needing Jerboa or Liftoff anymore

    I am home!

      Worth noting it is not affiliated with the original dev. This guy forked it and took the name.

          meh, it’s a bit shit if the original dev wants to make his own Lemmy app.

            The infinity dev literally said to fork it because he has no plans to support lemmy himself.

            Pretty sure the original developer of Infinity is one of the few people who will try to follow Reddit’s new API rules and charge a subscription fee to cover it. At least that was the case a few months ago. Not sure what’s currently happening.

              It’s been very quiet on that front

              A lot of people (myself included) are using a modded version of Infinity that allows you to put in your own API key.

              Yep, that’s the reason why infinity still works. Seems like they gave the devs who want to continue some time to figure it out.

    • Same here! This is the beauty of open source software!!! Nothing is required from the original dev for the community to take the software and repurpose it for something else.

    • I’m the same as you, it immediately feels familiar and intuitive. For a while there learning a new app while also learning how lemmy worked was like learning a new language, haha

      I am too, and new to Infinity overall. I was patiently awaiting Sync but became sadly disappointed with how aggressive it was monetized. Infinity does what I need:

      1. searching for posts over all communities (*and instances!)

      2. inline find function for the comments

      3. preview before commenting

      I am simple. Infinity is fast. Go. Lemmy. Go.

        It’s usable. Every important feature has been implemented.

        It’s just that it isn’t stable and still has some bugs. It’s my main client already

    Happy for Infinity users. Legacy Reddit third party app users are feasting in the past couple of days with those apps moving over to Lemmy.

      Yet the one most popular is infested with ads, tracking, and subscriptions. Not giving back or contributing to the opensource devs at all.

      I blocked that community as it felt the dev has paid actors trying to promote its $100 price tag and people are blindly falling for it.

        Shame on a single developer to want to be compensated for the work he’s put into an app. How dare he try to make a living! How dare he go against your will! If you don’t like it then move on. Publicly shaming a non-issue, lol.

        Also, if you’re so upset with an app “infested with ads” but you are savvy enough to be in the know about third party fediverse apps, maybe you should look into a whole home ad blocker.

        Ostracizing someone for trying to make a living. What the hell is wrong with you?

          You sound like you’re married to them.

          Nothing wrong with being critical, especially when it comes to ads and devs piggybacking off of open source software and communities.

            For what it is worth, I won’t be paying $100 for Sync Ultra either. But I’m not going around accusing a dev of hiring paid actors to promote his app that already has multiple posts on the front page of the fediverse.

            You are not just “being critical” you’re accusing them of being malicious and I am calling you out on that specifically.

              If you don’t stand up for what you believe in you might as well have never existed.

              And how is introducing ads and tracking (Google’s stuff) not malicious?

                Idk dude, it doesn’t take a dummy to understand that not everyone is out to get you, if you can’t understand that then I can’t help you.

                I hope you’re not using any closed source software elsewhere in your life, otherwise you’re a hypocrite against your own beliefs.

        I’ve been using the app for the past day+ and I only get an ad every 25 posts and none everywhere else, even comments. I prefer foss, been using linux since 2018, but I don’t see why every dev should have to contribute if they don’t want to. At the end of the day, it means more active users on lemmy. What every person puts on their phone is up to them. (I also might switch to infinity now that it’s out too.)

          The quality of users went downhill fast. They want ads, so we’ll get ads. Everything on Lemmy’s “all” is about Sync. It’s marketing. People love that yes.

          Just feel sorry for all the people who voluntarily put in their work. And then some dipshits start paying some front end dev 100 dollars who’s piggybacking off of the work thousands of volunteers put in.

          If you think they’re worth it that’s up to you. It won’t do the community any good. It already went downhill today.

            That’s because it literally just came out. I don’t know how else to break it to you.

            They’ll stop talking about it by next week.

        The ad free version is $20… Still steep but for an app I am going to use every day multiple times a day with it to me.
