I love infinity! Easy to use and it doesn't push notifications all day to you check reddit all the time

[–] animist@lemmy.one 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Infinity is the only reason I had gone back to reddit. Not being able to use it is what initially drove me to the fediverse

[–] fernandu00@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Me too! And I like the decentralization thing

[–] animist@lemmy.one 9 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah I came for the "reddit alternative" and stayed for the decentralization

[–] const_void@lemmy.ml 35 points 1 year ago

Infinity is great. Really hoping the dev refractors it for Lemmy.

[–] original_ish_name@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 year ago

I was surprised when I didn't see anyone talk about infinity

[–] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 27 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I used infinity.

but i think almost anyone here uses/used an open source client no? Thats like a predestined path

[–] twei@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago

I love the infinity client and I already miss the "swipe to upvote"-feature on jerboa

[–] WhoRoger@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's more likely, probably. On Reddit it really seems to be a forgotten child aside of the fossdroid people.

I tried Infinity but it simply wasn't comfortable for me so I went back to Boost. I generally prefer FOSS but in this case I had to go with what worked best for me.

Really hoping that Infinity comes to Lemmy, I love the app

[–] LemmyNameMyself@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Infinity is amazing

[–] Bumblefumble@beehaw.org 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I am in love with Boost and have used it religiously. Now I'm on Jerboa trying to get this Lemmy stuff to work, but I'm hopeful.

[–] xradeon@lemmy.one 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It would be awesome if Boost could be re-written to work with Lemmy, but I have doubts that would happen. This is probably a good time for new people to have their work shine though, I'm excited to see new apps made for Lemmy.

God I will miss infinity, my account was banned for bogus reasons so the ability to sub to subs without being logged in was amazing, also love the interface

[–] mook@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 year ago

Infinity has been my go-to. Spending much less time on it though.

[–] Nyxaion@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 year ago

I use Infinity. It's a bit different from what I used before, so I had to learn a few things, but now I like it. If Reddit gets rid of third party apps, or even old reddit, I don't know if I'm going to keep using it.

RedReader > anything

FOSS and lightweight and works perfectly. Hope he makes it work on Lemmy moving forward.

[–] RoundSparrow@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

RedReader really focuses on being able to read text. You can set font sizes on every aspect of postings and comments to exactly what you desire for the size of screen tablet/smartphone you have.

[–] naoseiquemsou@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Redreader user here too. I find it incredible how it's hardly mentioned when people talk about unofficial reddit apps. It's perhaps the one that maximizes having lots of functions, being lightweight, and being easy to use.

Infinity is the best FOSS app I've used for Reddit and supported Relay through purchasing Pro. As a UI/UX Designer, I admire everything these devs contributed for their 3rd party apps to user experience compared to Reddit themselves.

[–] gnuslashdhruv@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Infinity's one of the most attractive Reddit UIs around. I've been using it for a while, I didn't realize it was a FOSS app. Great to learn though!

Is Infinity FOSS? Its my preferred client, but I had no idea it was open source. Would be great if it supported Lemmy.

I use infinity. Was a slider user (and loved it) but isn't slide dead?

[–] WhoRoger@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It hasn't been developed for a year but it works just fine for most people.

[–] theory@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

Just means its ripe for a fork and switching to lemmy

Edit: tempted to try, now...

[–] WhoRoger@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Slide for Lemmy would be awesome

Wow, a mention of slide? Incredible. There are dozens of us!

It's crazy how much better these apps make scrolling Reddit

[–] pwshguy@programming.dev 10 points 1 year ago

Might have to do with u/rmayayo not announcing or really saying anything

[–] Cargon@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

Hits me right in the RedReader.

[–] maltfield@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

I don't know why nobody mentions RedReader. It's so much better than Infinity or all those closed-source pieces of shit that I wouldn't touch with a 10m stick.

[–] airbussy@lemmy.one 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As a Relay user the one thing I have to console myself is that it's logo is included in all those "going dark" announcement infographics.

I guess I'm in the minority of Relay users, I hardly ever see it mentioned anywhere. although it's not FOSS

I like infinty and sync

[–] Countmacula@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Slide has been abandoned for a while per the dev.

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 6 points 1 year ago

I'm riding Slide into the ground. I'll miss it. Jerboa is good but feels pretty crunchy still :(

[–] bitsplease@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Guess I'm the only Sync user lol
