To each their own, but I find this decision really misguided.

It's her money, not mine, so whatever, but l do not expect her to turn a profit in, rather the opposite.

In my view, the cross section of "IfR" users and people willing to subscribe monthly is rather small (especially if the money mostly goes to reddit - assuming I could afford it, I, for instance, would rather fund an open system like Lemmy).

And if Apollo's dev Christian Selig decided that it wasn't worth it with an already established paying user base, who already has a strong culture of subscriptions and exaggerated pricings, and one of the highest volume of users, at what probably was the peak usage of the platform; I don't see how a small app like IfR can survive.

That, or Christian made a pretty expensive mistake...

I think the best thing to do if you want to continue using Infinity would be to just compile your own APK with your own API key.

I've never used android studio before but didnt take me very long to work out how, and it all seems to be working.

You only need to change a couple of settings and about 3 lines of code.

Someone made a Google collab notebook that takes your API keys as an input, takes care of the compilation and offers you a download link to get your apk. Zero knowledge needed!

How do we get an API key, does it cost money, and where can we find the notebook?

This is what I and many others used who have zero knowledge. It's very simple. Check it out here In the Collab link it gives you the link to get the key.
