A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I read somewhere that the Infinity dev would just let us grab our own personal Reddit API keys and build the app from source.
If that is actually the case, we'd all individually be under the free limit. That is of course if Reddit gives out those API keys to everyone.
Obviously this solution would be challenging and the barrier to entry would be higher than just joining Lemmy or something. But it could be an option.
It's better to just improve Lemmy than keep going on Reddit. They keep doing more and more shitty anti-user things, for their IPO (initial public offering). This is probably just the beginning
I was just presenting it as an option that may or may not be available.
But yes, I'd prefer to stick with Lemmy improve it, especially the mobile experience
IMO the better thing to do would be to convert it into a Lemmy client. I heard someone is making a Lemmy API that works like reddit's, so maybe it could use that when it's ready?
Either way, I'm starting to work on my own Lemmy app written in React Native. If you have a name better than "ymmel" (reverse "lemmy"), please tell me.
How about Hymmel? Himmel stands for heaven in German, hinting at a safe space for the lost souls in these tiring times.
Nice, I actually like that. Danke!
I would love to have it converted or forked into a Lemmy client
Good luck on your app but ymmel seems like it is too close to yaml for my taste and I'd rather not mix up those two things
I do like hymmel better
How about "Carl"?
That's the most random thing lol, but I like it. Someone already suggested a better name, though
Either spez or FlyingLaserTurtle said this will be against the API's TOS.
Yeah, the solution does seem too good to be true
