(not because of Infinity obv, it’s an amazing reddit app)

    I’ve always wondered why no one ever talks about Infinity. I tried every 3rd party reddit app and I always thought Infinity was superior. Mostly because of the sheer amount of customization it allows me to do.

        I’m hoping for a transition from Boost! for Reddit, personally. That was the client I enjoyed using.

        My problem is that I’m also using kbin, and kbin’s API is disabled so it makes more sense for everyone to make a Lemmy app instead. Don’t know if they’ll bother to implement kbin support once it’s up and running.

      Yep. As much as I love Lemmy, Jerboa has it’s growing pains rn. Apparently someone is working on an API to make old reddit apps compatible with the lemmy API

      Same. Dev hasn’t said anything in that direction, though.

      That said, Jerboa looks like its developing well. Other apps, like Sync, will follow and add to the existing options.

      The infrastructure is getting better and better week to week atm.

      Fun fact infinity was made by one university student. And yet it is still infinity better than the official reddit app

      If it was open source and the dev was interested, I’d lend a hand. Jerboa is, so I’m helping there.

      I just want a stable lemmy app, and once that exists, I’ll probably stop working on it. But for now, it’s a fun diversion and feels impactful.

    I’d use jerboa but it just crashes all the time. Hangs, deletes comments and just isn’t up to scratch yet. So far tildes and kbin have been best die me. I jump around on all the Lemmy’s but can’t get my head around how to follow some subs.

    Just trying to recreate my reddit feeds.

      The issue isn’t Jerboa but rather the server you’re on is dying from too many users. Next Lemmy version (which hopefully will come out before the end of the month) is expected to fix a lot of problems

          Yup, all the Lemmy servers use the same version (minus some semantics). If you played Minecraft before, you can imagine it like that - Mojang (people behind Minecraft) release a new version, and all the servers update to it

            Unfortunately never played it. I do.not understand the instances and different Lemmy’s. Makes sense they all use the server. Probably would be good idea to have them separated as we know centralized can be corrupted.

            I use kbin as well. Does that pull from Lemmy ? Kbin and Lemmy world seem to work far better than the jerboa app. I’m just pinging around them. Have tried tildes too but it’s invite only.

    It became easy to not open Infinity once I read they were going to start charging a subscription (something I don’t fault them for, per se), and I uninstalled it.

      Is that planned? Find it weird how on Mastodon I can find my lemmy account but not vice versa

    Yeah. Same for the Kbin PWA, though I do hope the dev behind Infinity considers pursuing support for Lemmy (plus Kbin would be nice too)

      I’ve been really impressed with the kbin PWA. I thought the experience would suck, but I’ve been adapting just fine. I used Slide on Android.

        It’s definitely not as good as some of the apps, but the usability is very good on mobile.

    Lucky you’re not on lemmy.world… ^^ I had to switch to liftoff after jerboa 0.35 and the strange choice they made of enforcing lemmy v0.18 while it wasn’t even out. Were now locked out of jerboa for weeks if not months while were the largest lemmy instance ^^

    I replaced my RIF icon on my phone home screen with Jerboa. It’s amazing how often I find myself instinctively hitting the app for a quick dopamine hit!
