Is it just me?

I love infinity! Easy to use and it doesn't push notifications all day to you check reddit all the time

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

Infinity is great. Really hoping the dev refractors it for Lemmy.

I was surprised when I didn't see anyone talk about infinity

Really hoping that Infinity comes to Lemmy, I love the app

I used infinity.

but i think almost anyone here uses/used an open source client no? Thats like a predestined path

I love the infinity client and I already miss the "swipe to upvote"-feature on jerboa
It's more likely, probably. On Reddit it really seems to be a forgotten child aside of the fossdroid people.
- I was actually pleasantly surprised when some subreddits announced their participation in the blackout with a picture including the infinity for reddit (and boost) icon(s).
I tried Infinity but it simply wasn't comfortable for me so I went back to Boost. I generally prefer FOSS but in this case I had to go with what worked best for me.
- I thought that infinity was FOSS haha :(. It was really good, so fast, so clear, not compared to web view or the awful app.

Infinity is amazing

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
I do not even know what Boost is. The reason I am on Lemmy is due to it being federated

Infinity has been my go-to. Spending much less time on it though.

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 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.

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 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.
- Wdym? API calls that go through Reddit's servers or something? I'm not getting it 🤔

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...
- Didn't even notice that slide is ded. Still my favorite.
- Yeah I'm still a daily user

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
- Nice, I have used a lot of apps over the years, but this is the one that has stuck with me.
It is

RedReader > anything

FOSS and lightweight and works perfectly. Hope he makes it work on Lemmy moving forward.

RedReader really focuses on being able to read text. You can set font sizes on every aspect of postings and comments to exactly what you desire for the size of screen tablet/smartphone you have.
Redreader user here too. I find it incredible how it's hardly mentioned when people talk about unofficial reddit apps. It's perhaps the one that maximizes having lots of functions, being lightweight, and being easy to use.
Redreader is a beast. It might not look very fancy but it's one of the most functional clients I've ever used. I saw someone had modified redreader to display lemmy communities on r/apihackathon and the RR dev seemed interested! So fingers crossed :)
I loved redreader when I was on android. Wish it had an iOS port.

Wow, a mention of slide? Incredible. There are dozens of us!

I used to use slide when it was the only way to get your own personalised front-page without logging into a reddit account. But infinity does that too, now, and has a much better UI imo
In all these thousands of threads discussing 3rd party apps, this is the first mention I've seen of Slide. Wild!

Infinity my beloved...

Might have to do with u/rmayayo not announcing or really saying anything

As a Relay user the one thing I have to console myself is that it's logo is included in all those "going dark" announcement infographics.

Another Relay user here. I'll sure miss it :'(

It's crazy how much better these apps make scrolling Reddit

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.
It used to be the 2nd biggest back in 2014-ish after RiF, but got slowly overtaken. I still use it to this day.
Relay Pro has always been the goto reddit app for me until I moved to Slide (FOSS + available on F-Droid).
I used Relay for years then switched to Infinity and now here I am
I was originally a relay user, then swapped to Sync and never looked back

Hits me right in the RedReader.

I like infinty and sync

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.

Slide has been abandoned for a while per the dev.

I'm riding Slide into the ground. I'll miss it. Jerboa is good but feels pretty crunchy still :(

Guess I'm the only Sync user lol

Been a Sync owner for years.
Me too! I'm going to miss how easy it was to customize the UI, and a lot of the QOL upgrades over the years. I also loved how much the devs interacted with users to improve the app.

I used Infinity and Stealth as my main clients, I'd love if infinity came over. Not sure if Stealth will because it's intended to be used while signed out, and intentionally doesn't have a way to sign in.

Any idea if Stealth uses APIs or some form of scrapping?
- They used the API but added scraping as an option with the last update, they also support Teddit as a backend. Now that I think about it, it's not as unlikely as I thought for them to maybe support Lemmy considering how much they already support.

Boost was amazing for me. Daily user, but not anything other than browsing, some commenting, and minimal posting. Is live for the dev to take a crack at a lemmy app

what about Reddit Enhancement Suite

RES would be a tough one for reddit to fight since it doesn't rely on any APIs and happens totally on the client side
- Where there's a will, there's a way.
They actually commented in there modcoord thread. If you’d like the link, just let me know.
- yes sure, I think I missed that, the one I saw was https://www.reddit.com/r/RESAnnouncements/comments/141hyv3/announcement_res_reddits_upcoming_api_changes also rif and Apollo announced they shutting down today :(

Sync is my client of choice.

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.
- Same. It really had everything.

And NoSurf :(

I've been playing around with Infinity but eventually stuck with Slide.

Same.

What's special about Boost? Asking as a person, who browsed reddit with it.

my 2c, Boost just handled layout and text sizes better than RiF on my gigantic android phone
I tried every Reddit client over the years and boost is my all-time favourite. Well actually there was one called Flow that died.
I'm gonna miss boost
I've tried a bunch and ended up using Boost. It's just a matter of personal preferences of course. I've tried Apollo on the iPad and hated it, for example.
I don't actually know, I was just inspired by someone who said Boost gets no love. While I see it mentioned pretty often.

I've been using Joey. Great underrated app.

Slide was my jam. Though I never did try any of the others.

Well guess what [email protected]
- Oh wow, that's pretty cool. For some reason I never considered that it could be ported. Hopefully it's not too much work to change out the back end.

Yup, Infinity is what I stuck with, FAST & FOSS !

Do you know that the Infinity dev has decided to stick with Reddit and go with subscription?
