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 know how you feel. Best way to describe it is I miss what Reddit was, but don't miss what it's become. It's all finally starting to hit home that it's dead though. The queen is dead, long live the king.
The announcement is missing mentioning that any content tagged aw NSFW will not be accessible from their app. This was one of the biggest points that made the API changes impracticable for app devs, charging a very significant amount of money for a reduced experience .
The double tragedy here is how so many of the porn subreddits haven't really moved at all and are still on Reddit.
That's absolutely the most insane part, they're the most affected, but also the most likely to just ignore it.
That is assuming most people who access those subs even use the third party apps.
They’re likely not real users but posting bots for companies. Hopefully real users will migrate them to Lemmy
Lol first time I see my post getting reposted, I feel like a celeb
This is my first time seeing a same day repost on lemmy. I'm surprised it took this long, lol
if the API price was different I’d understand going subscription based, but given the Reddit requests, going this path looks like naive business choice, or maybe the devs simply do not want to accept the reality lol
Same thing with Relay for Reddit. I loved the app, even had a pro license. But I just don't love them or Reddit enough to pay a subscription fee.
I’m just slowly moving over what I find important to Lemmy and manually scrambling and deleting old posts. I think this is the only solution now - they can’t take my content and remove my methods of creating and managing it.
It’ll take ~6 months, but I think by then I’ll have a ripped up 14+ years of Reddit.
Well that sucks. I had no intention of continuing to use reddit, but I only used infinity. Before infinity I made and account and used reddit twice in 5 years, but browsed infinity daily. I have no Google services or framework on my phone and never plan to change that. I guess this is why infinity made itself unavailable on f-droid. I can't even get my saved references. Oh well. It was a bad habbit anyways.
I accidentally logged out of Sync this morning. Can't be bothered to log back in.
I had already read it a few days ago. So far there seems to be no intention to support lemmy. I for one will probably not pay for a reddit app (of any flavour), but, for the few subreddits that have no viable counterpart here (yet), such as r/flying, I will probably occasionally use it in the desktop browser, if mobile browser really remains impossible.
Yeah it sucks. But the developer of Infinity is awesome for giving means to use the app for free with your own API key.
Reddit getting cringe every day
Is it just me or does that screenshot, all dark grey with white text and some red text, look very 3D to you? I don't know how to explain it, but the red text looks to me like it is floating closer to my face than the rest of the text (mobile). Like subtitles in a 3D movie. Am I hallucinating? What's going on?
I've seen developers of some other clients think that they wouldn't be able to work even with a paid subscription. Are there other examples apart from Infinity of clients that will remain available with a subscription?
Given one of the quotes for API usage (something like $20m in a year) I can't see how any app would survive unless Reddit drastically dropped that number.
