Well we are spoiled for choice none the less
This. It’s not for me. But I’m glad it exists.
Actually I’ve been using Jerboa for long enough that I’ve really gotten used to it and I love it now, super functional
It’s functional for sure, but the scrolling feels so janky
More apps = more lemmings
I tried Sync for a little bit, but I didn’t really vibe with it to be honest, Infinity is still by far my favourite phone client.
Really, you should just download it anyway and try it, you’ll find out quickly if it’s for you or not.
It’s really like reddit clients, there is no single “best” choice, because everyone has different preferences. There were some reddit clients that people swore by and raved about that I absolutely hated, and others that I loved that no one else used.
More choices is never a bad thing
True that. Meanwhile us app hoarders are having a party collecting them.
inifinity supremacy
My choice was simple I need playback controls for video/gifs Tried liftoff and was great, but currently on sync and loving it
Infinity is going to be great once everything is properly supported!
Any news if it’s coming to the Play Store?
As far as I know, that’s the plan. They just haven’t had an initial non-alpha/beta release yet since the app is still quite unfinished (references to Reddit, certain menus just error out, etc.)
You usually want to have a product that is kind of working when you ship it to normies
Yeah second that. I’m just waiting for community blocking to be implemented, user blocking is there but it’s not working right now.
It seems unsustainable and mixed up to think no one should ever use non-FOSS options for anything.
Maybe that would be the case if we were in some post scarcity perfect society where no one needed income, and all devs were just doing it for self-fulfillment, but I can’t blame someone for wanting to make income off of their work. Especially if they seem like a reasonable person, wanting reasonable amounts for good work.
Isn’t supporting a smaller dev a good thing? I mean, this guy got screwed over by reddit fucking up his income.
Ain’t that the truth. People act like charging for software is evil no matter what. There’s a huge difference between a lone dev trying to earn a living and a huge corporation trying to wring every last ounce of profit out of their users. And there’s probably degrees of nuance between those.
Especially if they seem like a reasonable person, wanting reasonable amounts for good work.
And that’s the important context in this discussion. You’ve got a dev who’s active in the community and who builds an app not only with great features and UI but with stability too. And he has a not insignificant user base that is familiar not just with his work but essentially with this exact app… It’s reasonable for him to assume we’ll see the value and be willing to pay. And he is correct.
I’m personally averse to subscription models, but again context matters. Reasonable rate and you know what you’re getting. And I say this as a huge fan of both FOSS and socialism. I could have easily just let my DNS continue to filter out the ads, but I appreciate quality and believe it should be appropriately compensated.
What is your take on China and Russia?

actually, speaking of the subscription, the fact that ads can be removed with either the subscription or a one time payment is one of my favorite things about sync. I don’t really like subscriptions either, but then the only feature I really wanted from Sync was the ads removed, so I don’t have to even care about the subscription. I wish that kind of monetization style was WAY more popular.
And I only subscribed because the one-time purchase was not available at that moment, so I assumed no such option existed. But honestly, I’ll continue to pay the subscription. It’s still less than a year’s worth of my monthly donations to the developer of Tasker.
I will rather support dev that don’t already make money by selling my personal data.
And it’s really great, something worth paying for, imo.
I got like ten years out of Sync for Reddit. I even bought the $30 package and feel like I got more than my money’s worth.
You know it feels good
With how long it’s taking to have something to download, Boost is either gonna be left behind or will be the best app ever that was worth the wait.
I would love to use Thunder, but for some reason, my screen is locked to 60 Hz on Thunder, Connect and Liftoff and it’s really off-putting.
Can yall stop posting about this proprietary shitware app
this comment was posted from Jerboa, the app where you don’t have to pay 20$ for the privilege of not seeing ads and not being tracked
Spoiler
Sorry, I had to lol

Idk who needs to know this , but despite using an alpha version of infinity , it is the smoothest app I have tried so far for lemmy!
can you link it please or tell me if u can get in GitHub I did went there but it’s no apk
It’s on Codeberg, here’s the link: https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy/releases
that was so fast thank you so much
Same experience. Alpha but good enough already.
I don’t know if you’ve heard of it, pretty obscure app but it’s super smooth, have you tried Sync?
Nah i am good without ads , and would spend my dollars elsewhere!
For me Voyager runs better but I prefer infinity
Infinity for lemmy just dropped in F-droid. Hello old friend…glad you’ve arrived
Infinity
🧎
I was a user of RiF, RedReader and Infinity. Infinity when it gets out of alpha, is going to be insane.
Sync was not even close to these, and I hated the v20 fat Material UI look, stuck to v18 till it stopped working.
Hmm, can’t find it on fdroid, do I need to add a repo?
It’s specifically on the IzzyOnDroid repo, instructions here:
I think the version on repo is older than the git version
It’s just a version number mixup. The repo version is indeed the latest. More here: !infinityforlemmy@lemdro.id
Thanks! Just grabbed it. It is my favorite so far, probably cause I used infinity on Reddit.
Show me a foss client which shows community suggestions in the search bar when you start typing and auto collapsing comments features. Otherwise you can’t change my mind.
Liftoff
No suggestion in search bar. I want this. Connect has this feature but auto comment collapsing is not there.
Ah true. I am Downloading Connect. Thanks
Get Sync. Give it a shot. You’ll love it . The seamless design . Fast object loading will spoil you.
I’m on Sync right now, immediately went to see how much it was to buy the pro version only to discover it’s now subscription and if I want a one time payment it’s a hundred bucks… Even just removing adverts is 20 bucks… Fuck this thing, I’m uninstalling.
It’s okay to uninstall when you cannot pay. Understandable. But it’s your problem. I don’t get how paying for something good hurts you guys so much. You can choose other apps instead of being salty about it. The only reason you are salty is because you like sync but you wish it was cheaper.
“the only reason you are salty is because you like sync but you wish it was cheaper”
Err… Yes, that’s entirely the point…
Fuck that. I did check in play store and it says that it collects data. No, thank you.
Be polite and chill. And what you can do is simply choose not to send data. It’s an option that’s provided in the app fyi lmao. " Oh it collects data I heard it from this guy" see for yourself lol.
One more Syncpisser detected who deliberately wants spying.
I am trying so hard to be patient and stick to using kbin.
Why tho
I really like it, comparatively
Fair enough I guess. The difference seems very minimal from what I’ve seen.
It’s the microblogging support that makes it better specifically. It’s great to be able to use one account for that aspect of the fediverse as well.
Artemis is getting its public beta soon, so an apollo esc app with kbins microblog and lemmy support makes it worthwhile to stick around
Not OP, but I like to see upvote and downvote counts separately. Mastodon integration is also good.
This was me, lol. Initially their instant app was the best and I would have probably stuck with it if it hadn’t been for all the logout and invalid CSRF tolken shenanigans. I also would occasionally have issues interacting with other instances. I made another account on lemmy.world and things are a bit smoother with the native apps. It’s been a week or two since I hopped over and I’ve never had a login issue.
You can just move back to kbin once am app becomes available. Try using a lemmy app, just so you know what to look for when kbin apps appear.
