(not because of Infinity obv, it’s an amazing reddit app)
I’ve always wondered why no one ever talks about Infinity. I tried every 3rd party reddit app and I always thought Infinity was superior. Mostly because of the sheer amount of customization it allows me to do.
It truly is the best reddit client. I wish it would get a lemmy transition.
I’m hoping for a transition from Boost! for Reddit, personally. That was the client I enjoyed using.
My problem is that I’m also using kbin, and kbin’s API is disabled so it makes more sense for everyone to make a Lemmy app instead. Don’t know if they’ll bother to implement kbin support once it’s up and running.
I used Infinity when I was on Android. The developer said that he’s gotta job-hunt (as someone pointed out, the fact that people prefer the app written by a single person who is now looking for a junior developer job over the official one that Reddit had a whole team to work on is a bit embarrassing) and doesn’t have plans to add Fediverse support, but also that it’s open source.

I imagine that if someone wants to do so badly enough, they could add Fediverse support.
I put Jerboa in Relay’s old spot on my homescreen
I want the smart people to make Infinity work with Lemmy. That would be rad af
Yep. As much as I love Lemmy, Jerboa has it’s growing pains rn. Apparently someone is working on an API to make old reddit apps compatible with the lemmy API
Translation layers really are the future of computing. Rosetta, Wine, Ruffle, and now a Reddit to Lemmy
I’d use jerboa but it just crashes all the time. Hangs, deletes comments and just isn’t up to scratch yet. So far tildes and kbin have been best die me. I jump around on all the Lemmy’s but can’t get my head around how to follow some subs.
Just trying to recreate my reddit feeds.
The issue isn’t Jerboa but rather the server you’re on is dying from too many users. Next Lemmy version (which hopefully will come out before the end of the month) is expected to fix a lot of problems
But it is also a Jerboa problem. Jerboa should handle network/instance stability better and it doesn’t. It’s getting better, but it’s still very much focused on adding features instead of improving stability.
So if you see crashes, even if it’s totally an issue with your instance, please still report it. I work on the app and try to fix that kind of thing, and it’s a lot easier with a bug report that says what specifically you were doing.
Yup, all the Lemmy servers use the same version (minus some semantics). If you played Minecraft before, you can imagine it like that - Mojang (people behind Minecraft) release a new version, and all the servers update to it
I ended up uninstalling infinity! I definitely recommend it
You uninstalled it… but you’re recommending it? That’s atypical behaviour 😅
