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

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
Oh yeah I came for the "reddit alternative" and stayed for the decentralization
I was surprised when I didn't see anyone talk about infinity
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.

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

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
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.

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 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 a 11/10 but boost is great as well.
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!
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 would be cool if someone could use infinity's code to make a Lemmy client
Not sure if it's even possible though

It is
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

Infinity my beloved...
Might have to do with u/rmayayo not announcing or really saying anything
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 guess I'm in the minority of Relay users, I hardly ever see it mentioned anywhere. although it's not FOSS

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 :'(
Hits me right in the RedReader.
It's crazy how much better these apps make scrolling Reddit
Slide has been abandoned for a while per the dev.
I like infinty and sync
I'm riding Slide into the ground. I'll miss it. Jerboa is good but feels pretty crunchy still :(
