    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.

            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.

              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.

              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.

                    Because all the apps that where the devs said that they want to continue still work, I think they got some kind of deal with a new deadline to figure it out or something.

      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
