Infinity is the only reason I had gone back to reddit. Not being able to use it is what initially drove me to the fediverse
Me too! And I like the decentralization thing
Oh yeah I came for the "reddit alternative" and stayed for the decentralization
God I will miss infinity, my account was banned for bogus reasons so the ability to sub to subs without being logged in was amazing, also love the interface
I am in love with Boost and have used it religiously. Now I'm on Jerboa trying to get this Lemmy stuff to work, but I'm hopeful.
It would be awesome if Boost could be re-written to work with Lemmy, but I have doubts that would happen. This is probably a good time for new people to have their work shine though, I'm excited to see new apps made for Lemmy.
The UIs are similar to some extent so it might not be a bad idea to have the boost dev work on Jerboa

Infinity is the best FOSS app I've used for Reddit and supported Relay through purchasing Pro. As a UI/UX Designer, I admire everything these devs contributed for their 3rd party apps to user experience compared to Reddit themselves.
Infinity's one of the most attractive Reddit UIs around. I've been using it for a while, I didn't realize it was a FOSS app. Great to learn though!
I just stumbled it upon FDroid's homepage by accident. I tried it, then I never used my Relay ever again lol. But I missed scrolling reddit by one hand using Relay, very convenient feature! I though I was going to miss r/fossdroid, but there's and open source instance here on lemmy also, c/opensource if you're interested.
I use Infinity. It's a bit different from what I used before, so I had to learn a few things, but now I like it. If Reddit gets rid of third party apps, or even old reddit, I don't know if I'm going to keep using it.
Might have to do with u/rmayayo not announcing or really saying anything
Hits me right in the RedReader.
Infinity has been my go-to. Spending much less time on it though.
Really hoping that Infinity comes to Lemmy, I love the app
I really wish the Infinity dev considers working on the backend of the app to make it work with Lemmy. That's no easy task, I'm aware of that, but dreaming is free am I right?
There's the Idea of making a lemmy API that's Reddit compatible. Meaning all Reddit client apps could migrate to lemmy with minimal effort.

Is Infinity FOSS? Its my preferred client, but I had no idea it was open source. Would be great if it supported Lemmy.
Yep! Here's their GitHub https://github.com/Docile-Alligator/Infinity-For-Reddit

It is
I guess I'm in the minority of Relay users, I hardly ever see it mentioned anywhere. although it's not FOSS
I didn't know how much of a minority we were until this happened. I love relay but have only seen the logo once in a post about 3rd party access.

I'm riding Slide into the ground. I'll miss it. Jerboa is good but feels pretty crunchy still :(
Slide has been abandoned for a while per the dev.
Infinity is great. Really hoping the dev refractors it for Lemmy.
I don't know why nobody mentions RedReader. It's so much better than Infinity or all those closed-source pieces of shit that I wouldn't touch with a 10m stick.
I use infinity. Was a slider user (and loved it) but isn't slide dead?
It hasn't been developed for a year but it works just fine for most people.
Just means its ripe for a fork and switching to lemmy
Edit: tempted to try, now...
Slide for Lemmy would be awesome
did the temptation win? ;-)
if you start a fork, I guess currently there are quite some people to contribute/join the effort
I'm holding myself back a bit, because daily work doesn't leave me with much free time at the moment - with not much change in the near future...

Didn't even notice that slide is ded. Still my favorite.
I used infinity.
but i think almost anyone here uses/used an open source client no? Thats like a predestined path

Infinity is definitely the one I'm most looking forward to
I was surprised when I didn't see anyone talk about infinity
I used Joey for reddit. It was incredible. Really sad to see it die
I was a Joey user too. I tried them all and nothing compared to the features and customization that Joey had.

Sync is my client of choice.
RedReader > anything
FOSS and lightweight and works perfectly. Hope he makes it work on Lemmy moving forward.

I've been playing around with Infinity but eventually stuck with Slide.
I've been using Joey. Great underrated app.
Infinity my beloved...
