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
I still have 8 lemmy apps installed on my phone lol
Heh me too!
I JUST realised that the app icon is NOT a mole with red glasses looking up from a hole in the ground. Huh.
I head to look at it for a good minute to figure out what else it could be. lol
Oh
…holy crap, same. This makes me uncomfortable.
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
Sync is a fork of Infinity? Wow, I didn’t know that.
No. Infinity for Lemmy is a fork of Infinity for Reddit. Sorry for the misunderstanding
Nope that’s on me. Got it, thanks.
@bluetoque @newIdentity time to download 🙂
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!
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
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.
The infinity dev literally said to fork it because he has no plans to support lemmy himself.
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.
Agreed, it seems the Sync dev is going for a get rich quick scheme
-
Is it usable?
It’s usable. Every import feature has been implemented.
It’s just that it isn’t stable and still has some bugs. It’s my main client already
Thank you!
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’m trying to get it to pull infinity but it saya it can’t find the correct version number
All you should need to do is set the App Source URL to https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy/releases/ and then toggle on Include prereleases. Once they get a full release out you can toggle it off
That’s my issue. I didn’t realize it was a pre-release. That makes sense. Thanks a bunch!
I should have thought to mention it. I’ll update my comment 👍
Thank you for this. Impressive. Running infinity for lemmy now.
Crap… Obtanium is a 32bit only app. It won’t work on pixels :(
Not sure what you’re referring to, but I’m using it on a Pixel 7 without issue.
Just download the ARM64-V8 version.
Also. I use it on my Pixel 4a with Android 13.
So first impression after installing Android apk from
https://codeberg.org/attachments/fb4c1045-ab21-4ac0-8624-758b367eab53
It has that smooth fast scrolling feeling and lots of options. Feels very promising. :)
And for some reason, it feels like it’s loading comments much faster than other clients.
We are now officially spoiled for choice with tons of high quality clients.
With this, now Lemmy is the perfect alternative for Reddit. Spez can continue to eat glue.
You are supposed to sniff it, but I guess spez got that wrong too like everything else.
What you got against glue?
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!
Damn, finally an app with an A M A Z I N G tablet layout. I don’t know your username dev, but thank you for making this!
It’s Bazsalanszky and they’ve got a community setup on lemdro.id (which hosts /r/android’s [email protected]).
Tell me that it has a thumbnails on the left option and I’ll ditch Sync right this very moment.
Pretty sure the original did so this should to
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.
Ok, don’t use it then.
Don’t judge how people use Lemmy.
I never judged the users.
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.
Like an advertisement campaign you mean.
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.
Lemmy doesn’t have ads.
I’m not sure what your point is?
That’s why you pay.
Yeah, and it’s Incredible! I’m typing this from Infinity for Lemmy. It’s great!
Codeberg doesn’t work with Obtanium?
It does. You have to select “include prereleases” cause its not in 1.0 yet
Yes, this fixed it for me!
It does.
It’s an alpha so you have to enable the “include preview versions” toggle
Using the url field works for me but only until 0.0.6 Edit:
Latest release probably have issues with my dumb redmi phoneThe version of the 0.0.7 release seems messed up. Obtainium doesn’t seem to successfully update and when I install the 0.0.7 apk manually, inside the app it still shows 0.0.6.
The developer didn’t update the version string for 0.0.7. Known issue.
That’s the kind of thing that should’ve been automated in the dev’s CI/CD pipeline.
You’re not incorrect. Probably all will be fixed in time.
Obtainium has a setting just for issues like this.
Click on Infinity for Reddit in the app >click edit button bottom left > change Version Detection option to Use Release Date As Version
This worked, thanks!
Feels right at home.
If this project survives, that would be awesome.
Suggestion: Could we get an option to see both the upvotes and downvotes?
Can we go back to changelogs without a clown barf of emoji all over it? Jeebus, it’s distracting to read.
