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.
It has that many features since it's a fork of Infinity for Reddit which was/still is the most feature rich Reddit client

Is $115 an exaggeration? Not trying to start an argument, just curious.
The Sync dev is currently charging $20 USD to remove ads, or $100 for a lifetime subscription to "Ultra" which includes some additional features. I have to say, the app is really nice, but the dev is out of his mind.

I JUST realised that the app icon is NOT a mole with red glasses looking up from a hole in the ground. Huh.

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.
The beauty of open source!
meh, it's a bit shit if the original dev wants to make his own Lemmy app.
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.

F-Droid when?
I've been using Obtainium instead and loaded Infinity through it this morning. You can also have it pull from f-droid repos instead of GitHub if you want when that hits
Edit: Currently the app is in prerelease so you'll need to toggle that option. Once they have a full release you can toggle it back off.
As a side note, Obtainium is absolutely amazing.

I am officially using it to post this, and I gotta say... I don't miss Reddit, but I did miss Infinity. I just didn't realize how much until now.
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:
-
searching for posts over all communities (*and instances!)
-
inline find function for the comments
-
preview before commenting
I am simple. Infinity is fast. Go. Lemmy. Go.

Yeah, and it's Incredible! I'm typing this from Infinity for Lemmy. It's great!
With this, now Lemmy is the perfect alternative for Reddit. Spez can continue to eat glue.

Can we go back to changelogs without a clown barf of emoji all over it? Jeebus, itβs distracting to read.
I've been waiting for this for so long. Everything about Infinity for Reddit happened to suit my tastes, so this will make using Lemmy so much easier. Thanks!
This totally made my week! So glad to have Infinity back π Thanks a lot for the effort gone into this Mr. Dev π

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?

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.)

Would somebody share some screenshots?
It looks literally same as Infinity for reddit.
You enter Lemmy instance URL, username and password to log in
"Popular" tab replaced by "Local", I assume local to Lemmy instance you're logged into
"r/subreddit" replaced by "community@lemmy.instance"
"u/username" replaced by "username@lemmy.instance"

I can't decide. I have used Infinity for years on Reddit. Been using connect and liftoff for Lemmy.
In some ways it feels so warm and familiar to be on Lemmy in infinity, but in some ways, I'm thinking, it's Lemmy, not Reddit, it shouldn't feel like Reddit.
I'm very torn
