I had a feeling they’ll put something like this, so I went in every now and then to see how infinity will react. I really loved the app, devs did an amazing job
I was really hoping to see an “Infinity for Lemmy” app. Oh well; Jerboa it is I guess.
Edit: spelling
Liftoff is pretty good
I need to second this one! Tried some of the apps that came out in the past couple of weeks/days and Liftoff is the one I stuck with. The button at the top where you can switch to different instances with a single tap actually made me better understand the whole way Fediverse works. Now I switch between Beehaw, Lemmy world and some of the more obscure ones super simple (I am sure one could do this with other apps also but with Liftoff it just clicked for me).
My homescreen is still littered with a lot of the same stuff because a lot of instances have similar stuff on them but this is the first time I have something resembling control over the content I am reading in the Fediverse.
(still mourning the loss of RIF and it’s simple and incredible easy to use interface. I truly hope RIF’s dev makes an app for Lemmy!)

Important Notice Regarding Reddit API Changes
Starting from July 1st, 2023, Reddit API will be pay-per-use for 3rd-party clients, which include Infinity for Reddit. The announcement from Reddit can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/145bram/addressing_the_community_about_changes_to_our_api
In order to survive this change, Infinity will become a subscription-only app after July 1st. You can learn more about the changes in this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Infinity_For_Reddit/comments/147bhsg/the_future_of_infinity
It’s required for you to update Infinity after July 1st so that you will get the new version with subscription options. None of the previous versions (including this one) will work after July 1st. But due to a tight timeline Reddit gave, the update may not be available immediately on July 1st since it requires proper testing. Thank you for your understanding!

Good human
There’s a Lemmy ToR? ToL? I’m in. 30 transcriptions on reddit, time to carry on the legacy.
I created [email protected] but we got a lot of work to do.
Why so many of you in the comments are complaining that he “is trying to make business with Reddit”? It is his own app, he is finishing his studies and he have achieved so many things, he has the right to do whaterver he wants with his application. Also, you can just download the Infinity’s source code and build your own version of Infinity with your own API key. It will work without any problem after 1 July. So where is the problem there?
I find it extremely ironic that all the closed source apps, some with subscription options, are closing or moving to support open platforms, while the prime FOSS app is staying with Reddit and going subscription only.
Is is because the sole developer was actually a CS student, now looking for a first job (sick what he achieved at his age right ?) so he has no time to change the app to support Lemmy. However he said that should someone pick up the development, it should not be to hard to integrate the new feeds to it.
See 2nd link in the post.
I love Infinity but I deleted the app the instant I read that, I was gonna wait until July 1st to see if something changes, but damn
That would be the client I used - it’s a shame they’re being pushed to this.
Once that app goes subscription, I’ll run a purge on my account and drop in a GDPR request invoking my right to be deleted.
If by purge you mean power delete suite, it (and others like it) won’t work after the 1st.
Also I don’t know how true it is, but apparently it costs them a handful of money to comply to GDPR requests for data recovery. So maybe do that and then delete.
If I understand it correctly, Power Delete Suite should work just fine, since it’s using the logged in user’s API access. It will just get hit by the “free tier” rate limiting, but that only should mean it will take longer to do it’s thing.
I was an Infinity user but I can’t help but feel this is the wrong move. After all Reddit has done to them they just set up a way to siphon miney straight to them for the devs’ hard work?
Why?
Social media as a business model rapidly becomes unethical
What are they going to charge?
A least $15 a month.
Non power users probably wont pay, and any lower and they’ll definitely lose money.
I don’t see how paying more than Netflix will do anything other than kill that app.
Wow, not even Sync dared to charge a subscription adjusted to the new API price. I wonder how much Infinity’s going to charge.
A subscription to what would now be a lesser product since you can’t access NAFW content. The whole thing is sad. I deleted Sync the other day after using it for like 10 years.
Yeah, I feel bad for the developers that are trying to make it work, but I don’t think it’s gonna fly. Sync developer already moved to work on a Lemmy app.
Yeah, I bought the $30 support Sync bundle a while ago, and I will buy another one to support him, especially if it supports Kbin.
I’ve heard though a few others that sync supposedly will support Kbin but not on release. Hopefully someone can verify.
Dude you just made my day
