Thunder is the best one that’s open-source
No that would be Infinity for Lemmy
This isn’t showing up in F-Droid or the Play store. Has it not been released yet?
No. Only on Codeberg for now. Click on releases or use this link: https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy/releases
You can use obtainium to update it
I’ve tried all the clients that I could get my hands on and Voyager (vger.app) is what I’ve settled on. Awesome UI, lightweight web app, frequent updates.

Open source you say 🥺
Interesting. I haven’t come across any ads yet.
I see an empty card for ads, I thought my adblockers blocked the actual content of the ads.
I see that too but it’s still empty without any ad blockers, at least for now.
Edit: the ads are there now lol
Do you have adguard or pihole or another DNS blocker? If so, I don’t think you’ll see ads. At least not yet.
Nope, nothing like that.
Yeah, tried sync since that was my reddit app of choice but the ads and tracking just forced me to uninstall it. Trying thunder now and it seems pretty good
There’s no tracking in Sync
There is
Sync’s ads can be turned off by paying a small fee.
Is Infinity fully compatible with foldables and tablets? Sync even has tabs for open posts (like a browser) when it’s opened in tablet mode
Infinity works well on tablets, it has a split view
Infinity won’t let me log in. So far I’m really liking Sync. And I’m completely fine with a subscription at it’s current price. I’m happy to support devs. 8 don’t like working for free. Not sure why they should have to. And so it’s either ads or subscriptions. Pick your poison.
And so it’s either ads or subscriptions. Pick your poison.
Please think really hard for a moment and try to consider whether there are more ways to purchase something than by subscription or ad support.
There would be a lifetime one time payment option coming up.
He’s talking about tiping
Okay. But I feel one time purchase is a good option
One time payments would be great, but the devs make a lot more from subscriptions. You don’t see services like Netflix or Hulu offering one time payments options. As a consumer, I love it, but the devs might not be able to sustain the app from that model. I’d be interested if you have any other ideas though.
Netflix and Hulu, you’re paying for content. Completely different.
Yes the app is really well made
How about instead we respect everyone’s decisions and preferences? Free as in freedom, is that not what the Open Source community is about?
How is making a meme not respecting something?
That’s how I’ve always read this meme format. It literally says the non-preferred option is still brilliant.
Sure, but when people are excited about something, they’re going to trash-talk. It’s healthy to have the freedom of debate these choices.

Anyone can choose to install whatever software they choose on their device, but the “free” in free software specifically refers to the freedom to read and modify the source code.
Under the philosophy of the FOSS movement, all proprietary software are by definition unethical.
Since Lemmy and the larger fediverse is the choice for many free software advocates, it’s natural that you see this kind of backlash when fundamentally unethical software to interact with it is released.
I just installed Sync after browsing with Jerboa for the past month. Sync has such a clean, smooth look that if it functions even remotely consistently it’ll be my new replacement.
Check out all the UI options. The customization is really awesome, even if it’s a little confusing at times. The search box in options helps.
I’m soooo happy to be done with Jerboa… Haven’t uninstalled it yet but it’s such a buggy piece of crap compared to Sync so it’s only a matter of time til I do.

I lasted half a day with Jerboa, it really didn’t work for me. Connect has kept me happy since though.
Just tried Sync. It’s like a better Connect.
I’m waiting for Infinity, but I’ll try sync in the mean time.
Are people not using Memmy?
I can’t keep up with all the apps anymore.
Mommy is iOS exclusive
Of course she is. Why would mommy ever raise a worthless android peon?
Not my mommy, she’s on Android But yeah, that is an iPhone exclusive app

Infinity was my fav for Reddit, def would love to try a Lemmy alternative
Ok now I see the reason for the post, why I didn’t see this before?
The only one thing that I missed from reddit was Infinity, now I feel complete.
Apologies in advance for the dumb question, but it’s not yet ready for download right? Or am I missing something?
Go to releases. This is in the bar where you also find the issues
Or use Obtainium to automatically install and update it.
Edit: Updates the link
Oh my God, thank you so much!! Responding on Infinity now.
I’m github illiterate but I loved Infinity so this is huge for me!
Just realized it’s not even github so I may be illiterate in more ways than I thought.
Thanks! I’ll prob wait till a non-early access version releases, pretty happy with Voyager for now
Yeah I like Sync, but I don’t do ads or subscription. Hopefully there is a flat price.
It seems not, only subscription… 😐
Flat fee for ad removal update has already been pushed, waiting on Google approval to the play store.
I say this as someone who is probably one of the biggest supporters of software-freedom around here, but bullying or shaming people for preferring non-free apps does nothing but incite resentment towards the movement. I value the four freedoms because I think I deserve control of my computing, not because I think it’s my place to dictate what others should value.
I voices my opinion on one of the sync announcement posts and it was received quote controversially.
We all get stuck in our own camps and become quote tribal and I feel like all around it’s difficult to not take what is being said as some kind of attack.
I don’t think the meme is bullying or shaming people using sync…right? He said he likes infinity better even though sync is awesome because its libre and open source
I don’t get why instead of making posts about “Don’t use Sync!” no one is saying “Feel free to use and pay for whatever you like! But as a friendly reminder please note that you should also consider helping your instance owners or the core Lemmy team as well.”
There’s nothing wrong at all with paying for software, and even some will be fine with ads. It has literally nothing to do with anyone else but that person. Let them do them.
Like I say though, I think the thing that should be being said is that the app is not self contained and that these people should seriously consider helping out the other aspects as well if they can. But hey, no, let’s just belittle them and push them away instead of welcoming them. I can almost guarantee that the availability of Sync will bring more users to Lemmy that never would have been here otherwise.
The community is one of the worst aspects when working with/on opensource software.
There are so many people with Open Source rabies…
Combine that with all those people who don’t understand the difference between software developed by people who donate their spare time to work on FOSS software and for-profit software developed by big corporations. As a FOSS dev you get so many entitled assholes who think downloading a free app gives them the right to threaten/abuse the devs.
And then there are the fanboys who attack everyone who talks about downsides of their favourite product.
All in all, the hostile community makes FOSS development very not fun.
Fuck yeah baby. Infinity ftw!

Oh my fucking God, thank you! I feel like home again
