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 JUST realised that the app icon is NOT a mole with red glasses looking up from a hole in the ground. Huh.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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).

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.

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 😘

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.

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

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!
