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 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.

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

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

No it is absolutely not. Sync is its own app and has been developed by one person since its inception, both the reddit and the Lemmy version.

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.

Wow yeah $100 is steep. I’m not even sure if I would have paid $100 for Apollo for Reddit in its prime…

And there are more pricing models to come, confirmed by the dev already.

And also, get this… it’s FREE to use. No one is forcing any money out of your pocket.

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.

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

Not sure what you’re referring to, but I’m using it on a Pixel 7 without issue.
