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.

Probably the solution you will find will be deleted or edited to „fuck u/spez“ hopefully.

I do, but I don't want to pay reddit after what they did.

I was (still am) a patreon of Doctile Alligator because I just loved the app and used it so much.

I'm now using Infinity for Lemmy and love it so far. Voyager is also pretty good and gets updated every day. For me it's between these two clients.

I see maybe 3 people on the whole planet subscribing to a 3PA for reddit
