I JUST realised that the app icon is NOT a mole with red glasses looking up from a hole in the ground. Huh.
First comment from Infinity for Lemmy!
Infinity was my app of choice for like 2ish years, it still works with Reddit atm but when I moved to Lemmy the only real app was Jerboa, and man it was not the same
I delt with it tho, in the hopes that one day Infinity would be for Lemmy
And omg ITS BACK BAYBE
I am way too stocked over a Lemmy app, but man Infinity is lightning fast, super smooth, and beyond customizable! So I won’t be needing Jerboa or Liftoff anymore
I am home!
Worth noting it is not affiliated with the original dev. This guy forked it and took the name.
The beauty of open source!
meh, it’s a bit shit if the original dev wants to make his own Lemmy app.
The infinity dev literally said to fork it because he has no plans to support lemmy himself.
The original used to be my favourite reddit client, so I’m really happy to see there’s a semi-fuctional lemmy fork.
So this means another lemmy app for me to install. I’m still switching between apps
Best Lemmy App so far. Thanks a lot!
I’m devastated. It’s been filled with ads. They took the original devs work, forked it, then filled out with damn ads.
?? I am using it right now and haven’t seen a single ad?
Are you pulling it from f-droid? I haven’t seen any ads.
It’s not on fdroid any more is it? The lemmy version?
Dunno. It was beta when I originally downloaded it, but I believe I’ve gotten an update since then. I’d assumed it came through f-droid.
I just checked, and it’s still there. v0.0.8, released 2023-08-08.

This is perfect. My absolute favorite app for Reddit. I’m 100 percent Lemmy now.
I am officially using it to post this, and I gotta say… I don’t miss Reddit, but I did miss Infinity. I just didn’t realize how much until now.
I am too, and new to Infinity overall. I was patiently awaiting Sync but became sadly disappointed with how aggressive it was monetized. Infinity does what I need:
-
searching for posts over all communities (*and instances!)
-
inline find function for the comments
-
preview before commenting
I am simple. Infinity is fast. Go. Lemmy. Go.

Dear Dev,
Thank you. Voyager is pretty and Liftoff has a neat interface, but Infinity for Lemmy makes me feel like Reddit ca. a couple of years ago, before it went South.
Nice job.
Such a great app. I used Infinity before so I’m glad someone made a Lemmy version
With this, now Lemmy is the perfect alternative for Reddit. Spez can continue to eat glue.
F-Droid when?
Damn, finally an app with an A M A Z I N G tablet layout. I don’t know your username dev, but thank you for making this!
It’s Bazsalanszky and they’ve got a community setup on lemdro.id (which hosts /r/android’s !android@lemdro.id).
Tell me that it has a thumbnails on the left option and I’ll ditch Sync right this very moment.
Pretty sure the original did so this should to
Happy for Infinity users. Legacy Reddit third party app users are feasting in the past couple of days with those apps moving over to Lemmy.
Yet the one most popular is infested with ads, tracking, and subscriptions. Not giving back or contributing to the opensource devs at all.
I blocked that community as it felt the dev has paid actors trying to promote its $100 price tag and people are blindly falling for it.
I’ve been using the app for the past day+ and I only get an ad every 25 posts and none everywhere else, even comments. I prefer foss, been using linux since 2018, but I don’t see why every dev should have to contribute if they don’t want to. At the end of the day, it means more active users on lemmy. What every person puts on their phone is up to them. (I also might switch to infinity now that it’s out too.)
The quality of users went downhill fast. They want ads, so we’ll get ads. Everything on Lemmy’s “all” is about Sync. It’s marketing. People love that yes.
Just feel sorry for all the people who voluntarily put in their work. And then some dipshits start paying some front end dev 100 dollars who’s piggybacking off of the work thousands of volunteers put in.
If you think they’re worth it that’s up to you. It won’t do the community any good. It already went downhill today.
That’s because it literally just came out. I don’t know how else to break it to you.
They’ll stop talking about it by next week.
Like an advertisement campaign you mean.
Love it!
I’ve been waiting for this for so long. Everything about Infinity for Reddit happened to suit my tastes, so this will make using Lemmy so much easier. Thanks!
So first impression after installing Android apk from

It has that smooth fast scrolling feeling and lots of options. Feels very promising. :)
And for some reason, it feels like it’s loading comments much faster than other clients.
We are now officially spoiled for choice with tons of high quality clients.
