Infinity For Lemmy update just dropped. dev is really active in the community

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 still have 8 lemmy apps installed on my phone lol
  
  Heh me too!

I JUST realised that the app icon is NOT a mole with red glasses looking up from a hole in the ground. Huh.
- Lol you are right!
- I head to look at it for a good minute to figure out what else it could be. lol
- Oh
- ...holy crap, same. This makes me uncomfortable.

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.
  
  The beauty of open source!
  
  And filled it with ads. Gutted.
- 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.
- 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.
  
  No lol

F-Droid when?
- 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.
  
  I'm trying to get it to pull infinity but it saya it can't find the correct version number
  
  Crap... Obtanium is a 32bit only app. It won't work on pixels :(

I am officially using it to post this, and I gotta say... I don't miss Reddit, but I did miss Infinity. I just didn't realize how much until now.
- I am too, and new to Infinity overall. I was patiently awaiting Sync but became sadly disappointed with how aggressive it was monetized. Infinity does what I need:
  searching for posts over all communities (*and instances!)
  inline find function for the comments
  preview before commenting
  I am simple. Infinity is fast. Go. Lemmy. Go.
  
  Agreed, it seems the Sync dev is going for a get rich quick scheme
- Is it usable?
  
  It's usable. Every important feature has been implemented.
  It's just that it isn't stable and still has some bugs. It's my main client already

So first impression after installing Android apk from
https://codeberg.org/attachments/fb4c1045-ab21-4ac0-8624-758b367eab53
It has that smooth fast scrolling feeling and lots of options. Feels very promising. :)
And for some reason, it feels like it's loading comments much faster than other clients.
We are now officially spoiled for choice with tons of high quality clients.

Damn, finally an app with an A M A Z I N G tablet layout. I don't know your username dev, but thank you for making this!
- It's Bazsalanszky and they've got a community setup on lemdro.id (which hosts /r/android's !android@lemdro.id).
  !infinityforlemmy@lemdro.id
- Tell me that it has a thumbnails on the left option and I'll ditch Sync right this very moment.
  
  Pretty sure the original did so this should to

Yeah, and it's Incredible! I'm typing this from Infinity for Lemmy. It's great!

With this, now Lemmy is the perfect alternative for Reddit. Spez can continue to eat glue.
- You are supposed to sniff it, but I guess spez got that wrong too like everything else.
- What you got against glue?

I've been waiting for this for so long. Everything about Infinity for Reddit happened to suit my tastes, so this will make using Lemmy so much easier. Thanks!

This totally made my week! So glad to have Infinity back 😌 Thanks a lot for the effort gone into this Mr. Dev 😘
- My sentiments exactly!

Happy for Infinity users. Legacy Reddit third party app users are feasting in the past couple of days with those apps moving over to Lemmy.
- Yet the one most popular is infested with ads, tracking, and subscriptions. Not giving back or contributing to the opensource devs at all.
  I blocked that community as it felt the dev has paid actors trying to promote its $100 price tag and people are blindly falling for it.
  
  Ok, don't use it then.
  Don't judge how people use Lemmy.
  
  I've been using the app for the past day+ and I only get an ad every 25 posts and none everywhere else, even comments. I prefer foss, been using linux since 2018, but I don't see why every dev should have to contribute if they don't want to. At the end of the day, it means more active users on lemmy. What every person puts on their phone is up to them. (I also might switch to infinity now that it's out too.)
  
  Shame on a single developer to want to be compensated for the work he's put into an app. How dare he try to make a living! How dare he go against your will! If you don't like it then move on. Publicly shaming a non-issue, lol.
  Also, if you're so upset with an app "infested with ads" but you are savvy enough to be in the know about third party fediverse apps, maybe you should look into a whole home ad blocker.
  Ostracizing someone for trying to make a living. What the hell is wrong with you?
  
  The ad free version is $20... Still steep but for an app I am going to use every day multiple times a day with it to me.

Super excited to see it available on Fdroid!
EDIT: looking forward*, not excited. sorry
- It's on F-Droid?
  
  I cant find it , just the infinity for reddit there !!

Would somebody share some screenshots?
- Here's an album: https://imgur.com/a/hGpPp8h
  
  LIGHT THEME ALERT!
  Put your sunglasses on, folks! 😎
- It looks literally same as Infinity for reddit.
  You enter Lemmy instance URL, username and password to log in
  "Popular" tab replaced by "Local", I assume local to Lemmy instance you're logged into
  "r/subreddit" replaced by "community@lemmy.instance"
  "u/username" replaced by "username@lemmy.instance"
- Sure here you go

Can we go back to changelogs without a clown barf of emoji all over it? Jeebus, it’s distracting to read.

- Just imported my old theme and I'm so GD happy right now.

- It does. You have to select "include prereleases" cause its not in 1.0 yet
  
  Yes, this fixed it for me!
- It does.
  It's an alpha so you have to enable the "include preview versions" toggle
- Using the url field works for me but only until 0.0.6 Edit: ~~Latest release probably have issues with my dumb redmi phone~~
  
  The version of the 0.0.7 release seems messed up. Obtainium doesn't seem to successfully update and when I install the 0.0.7 apk manually, inside the app it still shows 0.0.6.

Folks don't forget to donate

Very Nice!!! It would be an instant switch... if the login would work.
- Works for me!
  
  I get the error "Kann Benutzer-Info nicht abrufen" or in english: "Cannot fetch user info"

I can't decide. I have used Infinity for years on Reddit. Been using connect and liftoff for Lemmy.
In some ways it feels so warm and familiar to be on Lemmy in infinity, but in some ways, I'm thinking, it's Lemmy, not Reddit, it shouldn't feel like Reddit.
I'm very torn
- Use a different one every day until there's a winner x)
  
  This is interesting, is there anyway to "automate" this on Android.
  I don't want to seem lazy, but I got this idea from iOS where you can have different kinds of Home Screens depending on different scenarios/schedules.

I have currently 9 Lemmy clients on my Android phone and this one feels the smoothest right now.
Great work, looking forward to the further development!

Ah, the app I've been waiting for! Infinity was great for Reddit, and I was glad to hear it was making the move to Lemmy. This is probably gonna replace Jerboa as my Lemmy app.

"Kept you waiting, huh?"

Such a great app. I used Infinity before so I'm glad someone made a Lemmy version

Is this only for iOS so far? Not seeing it on f-droid or play store.
- You can download apk from the 'Releases' tab on the codeberg page.
  
  Oh thanks for the tip! I didn't even realize there was a codeberg link in the post.
- Yeah, I'm also still waiting for anything other than Jerboa to finally show up on F-Droid.

  I just upgraded to Infinity, but I was previously using Liftoff which was on F-Droid and worked great!

I love this! Keep up the good work

I already love it

Nice. Can't wait to get it through the play store.
- Just sideload. Else the dev has to pay like $100 a year
  
  @newIdentity @SnowBunting I thought $100 annual was Apple? Last I saw my play developer account was a one time of $20 or 30

@GlowHuddy Infinity for Lemmy is really good.
- I used Infinity for Reddit, so I was happy to hear it was being ported to Lemmy. It's a pretty good app.
- Yep, writing from it rn ^^

Thunder app is great!

Hm, I can't see it in Play store. I'm in EU.
- Go to releases on codeberg
- Try Obtainium, helps if an app isn't on F-Droid or Google Play Store.
  
  I installed obtainium and added the codeberg url as a new app. I clicked on allowing pre-releases, and allowed obtainium to install apps. It sees there's an upgrade (0.0.7) as I'm currently on 0.0.6. however, when I click to update, it doesn't do anything, keeps showing the same version.
  Any tips on what I could be doing wrong?

Yay! My first comment from Infinity! Been using Jerboa so far but great to have multiple options!

This is perfect. My absolute favorite app for Reddit. I'm 100 percent Lemmy now.

Hey. Seemingly the app won't let me log into an instance I've tried lemme.ee, sh.itjust.works, and lemmy.zip. Any ideas?
Editing to add that this app looks really nice! I think my only complaint is that collapsed comments are bright green, unless I'm missing the option to change that
Edit: I am dumb and did not think to scroll further lol oops
Edit: I successfully logged in using username rather than password. That said, the app crashes every time I try to view my profile
- Make sure you didn't add a space at the end
  Also the app only crashes when you try to view your profile from the bottom navigation bar. It works fine if you want to view it from the sidebar
  Yes it's a little buggy for now, but it's still in development
  
  I did check the space. It just didn't seem to want to let me log in via email but like I said, username worked fine! As to the crashing I hadn't tried from not the bottom navigation bar, so thank you for that. I was mostly just documenting the issue in case other people et encountered it
- You can change that color in the settings.
  
  Yeah I did find that. Thanks!

Nice. I really, really like the gallery view.

Best Lemmy App so far. Thanks a lot!
- I'm devastated. It's been filled with ads. They took the original devs work, forked it, then filled out with damn ads.
  
  ?? I am using it right now and haven't seen a single ad?
  
  Are you pulling it from f-droid? I haven't seen any ads.

It is so incredibly great! And, coming from Jeroba, I don't have to be afraid of pressing backspace any more!

Dear Dev,
Thank you. Voyager is pretty and Liftoff has a neat interface, but Infinity for Lemmy makes me feel like Reddit ca. a couple of years ago, before it went South.
Nice job.

Is there any way to make the font a little bolder without changing to a bold font?
I feel it forces my eyes a lot to read them with that soft tone or whatever is called.
