(not because of Infinity obv, it’s an amazing reddit app)
I’ve always wondered why no one ever talks about Infinity. I tried every 3rd party reddit app and I always thought Infinity was superior. Mostly because of the sheer amount of customization it allows me to do.
Infinity is the 💩. I hope the devs port it to work with Lemmy
I used Infinity when I was on Android. The developer said that he’s gotta job-hunt (as someone pointed out, the fact that people prefer the app written by a single person who is now looking for a junior developer job over the official one that Reddit had a whole team to work on is a bit embarrassing) and doesn’t have plans to add Fediverse support, but also that it’s open source.

I imagine that if someone wants to do so badly enough, they could add Fediverse support.
It truly is the best reddit client. I wish it would get a lemmy transition.
I’m hoping for a transition from Boost! for Reddit, personally. That was the client I enjoyed using.
My problem is that I’m also using kbin, and kbin’s API is disabled so it makes more sense for everyone to make a Lemmy app instead. Don’t know if they’ll bother to implement kbin support once it’s up and running.
I’d use jerboa but it just crashes all the time. Hangs, deletes comments and just isn’t up to scratch yet. So far tildes and kbin have been best die me. I jump around on all the Lemmy’s but can’t get my head around how to follow some subs.
Just trying to recreate my reddit feeds.
The issue isn’t Jerboa but rather the server you’re on is dying from too many users. Next Lemmy version (which hopefully will come out before the end of the month) is expected to fix a lot of problems
Looking forward to it. I’m on different Lemmy’s though. Is that right ?
Yup, all the Lemmy servers use the same version (minus some semantics). If you played Minecraft before, you can imagine it like that - Mojang (people behind Minecraft) release a new version, and all the servers update to it
Unfortunately never played it. I do.not understand the instances and different Lemmy’s. Makes sense they all use the server. Probably would be good idea to have them separated as we know centralized can be corrupted.
I use kbin as well. Does that pull from Lemmy ? Kbin and Lemmy world seem to work far better than the jerboa app. I’m just pinging around them. Have tried tildes too but it’s invite only.
Go make an account on sh.itjust.works. It’s been pretty reliable with no issues for me.
Same. Been pretty solid so far.
Agreed. I’m very happy. And the cool domain name is funny.
good community too :3
I second this :-)
I want the smart people to make Infinity work with Lemmy. That would be rad af
Fun fact infinity was made by one university student. And yet it is still infinity better than the official reddit app
Same. Dev hasn’t said anything in that direction, though.
That said, Jerboa looks like its developing well. Other apps, like Sync, will follow and add to the existing options.
The infrastructure is getting better and better week to week atm.
Lucky you’re not on lemmy.world… ^^ I had to switch to liftoff after jerboa 0.35 and the strange choice they made of enforcing lemmy v0.18 while it wasn’t even out. Were now locked out of jerboa for weeks if not months while were the largest lemmy instance ^^
I had to uninstall infinity to get over it. But, I miss it so much
you can still keep on using infinity with your own api key, I did it. but I don’t know if there’s any point since reddit is going down by the looks of it
If you use your own API key, won’t the api still be restricted? For example, NSFW posts
I put Jerboa in Relay’s old spot on my homescreen
I replaced my RIF icon on my phone home screen with Jerboa. It’s amazing how often I find myself instinctively hitting the app for a quick dopamine hit!
