Infinity, a lesser known open-source third-party Reddit app for Android, has announced that it will be switching to a subscription-only model. This would mean that the F-Droid version of the app will be delisted and the API key currently in the source code of the app will be removed. As of this post, the developer is currently not interested in converting Infinity into a Lemmy client, but encourages others to look into doing it themselves because of the app’s open source nature.

    Infinity was a good replacement when Sync did its redesign, which I didn’t care for. Ah well. I don’t blame them of course, but reddit isn’t something I’m going to pay a subscription to access on a 3rd party app on my phone.

      Same here. No offense to the developer of Infinity, but I don’t see too much value in accessing Reddit on mobile enough to pay for a subscription. Now that I have Lemmy, I’ll probably only use Reddit while trying to search for a solution for something.

    Infinity was an excellent app. Was customizable enough for my needs and didn’t intrude on my experience with ads or other stuff. Sad to see it go. I will probably just stop using it and just use Lemmy from now on.
