Infinity isn’t there, cuz it lives on on Lemmy.
Infinity for Reddit actually still works.
I know, but paid, so bad ig
Version 6.0.2 still works without paying. You can download it from F-Droid.
It still works?
Yes, just tested it. I guess the app has API access but the paywall was not yet included in 6.0.2. It might get blocked at some point though.
Would assume so. The infinity devs are probably paying for the people using the app this way…
Infinity? It’s FOSS.
Reddit banned my account for “Abusing the report button”, and still won’t unban it. I still miss reddit because Lemmy doesn’t have enough interest specific forums.
I need to talk to someone about Mortal Kombat and Sonic!
They banned me for saying child molesters deserved to die. Meanwhile there’s all kinds of other threads with people saying the same shit about other way less bad demographics and nothing happens to them… Hmmmmmm.
My abuse of the report button, by the way, was because I kept reporting people for being outright malicious towards religious users. And since one’s belief system is protected class as far as discrimination goes, I thought I was doing the right thing. And when I tried to explain this, my appeal was ignored. I still miss it sometimes because there are a lot of groups that just haven’t been established on this platform yet. Sure we have a gaming channel, but we don’t have an in-depth discussion for Mortal Kombat or sonic the hedgehog. And with the new Mortal Kombat coming out in september, oh damn do I miss the old joint sometimes. Oh well, has Reddit gets worse and worse it’ll eventually be left in the dust. It’s not like I was banned for doing anything wrong. Just trying to uphold the terms of service when the website would not.
My appeal was ignored as well. I even gave them an example of a thread with dozens of comments that were just like mine but against a corporate executive asking what the difference was and they still just gave me the canned response. The only conclusion I can draw from that is the Reddit admins must want to create a safe space for child molesters specifically.
Shit, I didn’t even get the canned response, I was just ignored outright.
They were probably too busy looking for kids to diddle.
Pro tip, use Tor and a different Email and you can create a new account without ban evasion detection kicking in. Make sure you copy the link for email verification and open it in Tor not in the normal browser.
The dev of Boost for Reddit says he’s working on a Lemmy version, but it is as of yet unreleased.

That’s why I’m running Lemmy on Sync for Lemmy. Absolutely beautiful.

Personally I never used any 3rd party reddit clients because I avoid apps in general, and was really used to the old.reddit dating back to 2008 or so. However, I did give up on reddit finally based on the API issue, I had a successful API app based on another site years ago, and the way Splez acted was pretty much the same nonsense we were subjected to. We made something that the site members loved, and were able to eke out a decent living by developing and supporting it. We were always dealing with the site changing things, and the CEO had this attitude like we were interloper parasites making money from his property. We had the rug pulled out from under us multiple times with changes to the site, bugs, performance problems and unannounced feature cancellations. At the same time, their members told us our web app was the best, it enabled them to use the site and filled in huge gaps in the official offerings, and please don’t ever change it. So, to see Reddit act that way to API developers was unacceptable.
What happened to your app? (Or the site?)

We’re still on this?
No respect for the OG. RIP RiF.
RIP Alien Blue
I still have the app on my phone. After over a decade of use, I can’t bear to uninstall. Seeing it’s icon is like seeing a loved one’s ashes in my living room.
I first got that app in 2012, didn’t realize it had been so long, jesus
You can patch your own api key into it with revanced manager
Wish I would have known that…
You can still do it, just need to download the APK off apkmirror or something
I bought rif premium after they announced the api change, used it for so long. Probably wont delete it for a long time.
I will forever hold on to all my backups of the apk I’ve made through the years, maybe one day they will be usable again… :(

Yep and it’s FOSS :-)
Currently using a nice nord theme with it!
SyncJesus is back from the dead, yo
I write this from my Sync for Lemmy client. Hopefully soon Boost for Lemmy will be out too.

And for a reasonable subscription price! It’s just a shame that we know it goes straight to reddit, so I’m not gonna do that.
The only reasonable subscription price to use a website you provide content for is free.
Who pays for the servers?
The users of reddit paid for the server costs many times over using the awards system. When it first started they kept saying how many years’ server costs they had in the bank, just from selling reddit gold.
I don’t mean reddit. You made a general statemet that you shouldn’t pay to access user generated content.
Even Lemmy has users contributing tens of thousands of dollars to pay for servers. Someone has to pay.
Well we’ve both given one example: passionate users who believe in and want to support the platform.
Another example would be the business itself through the data they exploit. In fact, if they’re collecting and exploiting user data, thus generating a profit from the user, then really they should be paying the user for the data.
You can’t sell a car without paying for the nuts and bolts, yet data companies don’t pay us for the materials we provide that are integral to their product.
There’s certainly some grey area with a free service that collects data for free. I’d still argue this is wrong, just because the value exchange is completely disproportionate. But when you’re paying for the product/service and they still collect your data (looking at you, Microsoft), then that’s just really scummy and wrong. With the reddit API charges, reddit is asking users to pay reddit so they can give reddit data that reddit can profit from. That’s fucked up.
That’s fair. With the reddit example, the data reddit collects is used for advertising. Because reddit accounts are anonymous, there’s not much to sell to third parties.
But with a third party reddit app, reddit can’t show ads. The data is pretty useless. I’m not convinced third party apps can be a meaningful part of the revenue stream.
Is there a free tier? I just check in every other week, and I’m surprised I can still use Relay without a subscription.
No free tier, but some third party apps with a serious effort at going subscription based have been granted more time by reddit (but were required to remove their ads, and more stuff I can’t remember (maybe no NSFW?).
I haven’t paid anything since my original Relay Pro fee several years ago and I can still browse porn on Reddit. I dunno what’s happening. I did see a pop-up screen a couple of days ago saying it would be changing to a subscription model, but so far it’s still working fine. I don’t think I’ll keep using it when it changes to subscription.
Isn’t the price based on how much you interact with the site?
Gonna be a no from me.
