I've now been tricked twice into breaking my Reddit boycott just to check and see if Infinity still works or not, and it still does.

Maybe Infinity just has enough fewer users than something like Apollo that Infinity hasn't reached the request limit to where it's been shut off yet.

(I don't actually mean I was tricked. ;) )

Infinity is going to move forward with a premium account system, they basically just funnel money into Reddit for no good reason.

Access to the free Infinity should go away soon.

Currently you can type libreddit.hu/r/ in front of any subreddit and avoid Reddit directly, not sure what's happening to that domain with the changes.

I meant that I loaded up Infinity specifically to check and see if Infinity still worked or not. Not to access any particular Reddit content. But Infinity still worked for me after I first saw this thread.

Edit: Ah, and I just realized I might have misunderstood you, not the other way around. Sorry about that.

Infinity is free until they get the subscription stuff sorted out

I think infinity may be one of the few planning to move forward with a subscription model in the next few months. Reddit is making an exception on the timeframe for 2 or 3 apps that said they would implement the ridiculously priced subscription model where they'll mostly just line Reddit and Apple's pockets.
