I think that's the final nail in the coffin for me.

I would like to mention Eternity is being made as fork from Infinity.

They have a community you can find here:

For more information and updates but their Codeberg page can be found here. You can also find downloads of the latest version there. I think they mentioned trying to get it on F-Droid at some point like Infinity is.

I stopped when Apollo ended. Lemmy has been satisfying my scrolling needs since.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Eternity is on f-droid, if you add the izzydroid repo.

https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Even better than F-Droid is Obtainium. Get apps right from the repo release page, no waiting for F-Droid to recompile.

Posting from it now. No anonynous homepage, but I'm far happier making an account on lemmy than reddit.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 year ago (8 children)

ANYTHING for reddit is still working??

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You can patch some reddit apps like Sync and use your own api key. Even if you don't browse reddit, it's nice to be able to open the occasional link in a pleasing UI.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

hmm why don't they add a setting for user to enter their keys then?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because its against the rules

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What rules? Why does reddit generate API keys for the users if they are not allowed to use it?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

Because Steve is a moron.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I also don't understand this. If I have my own, personal API key, and supposedly I can use it for free. Then if I write my own app, without releasing it on Play Store, I can't use it with my own API key? Why not? Is there any mentioning of this explicitly against the rules?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yes, check the TOS

Also you can't have a part of the app that prompts a user to create a api key

Edit: I'm not sure if this is true after a few comments on reddit. I'll see if I can get clarification from the dev

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Afaik I can request my key on Reddit. Then I, all by myself, create an Android app for myself, completely from scratch, never release it to anywhere, just have it on my phone. So not Revance an existing , seriously program one from zero. It would be personal use, would it not?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I don't know anymore

[–] BleatingZombie 6 points 1 year ago

Good question. Those API keys are supposed to be unique to the app using it. Patching in your own isn't something you're supposed to do, but it is indeed possible

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Stealth and geddit both work for browsing only. Enjoy.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Stealth scrapes old.reddit, doesn't count 🤪

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

If it works it works.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I still actively use infinity for my alt account. Once it's gone, I guess that's it for me for reddit. :/

[–] Pajama 6 points 1 year ago

Relay still works

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Some apps taking serious steps towards a subscription model have been granted extra time by reddit. There were conditions, but there were at least a few of them (Infinity and Relay are the ones that come to mind, but there was at least one more that I can't remember right now).

[–] indianactresslover 4 points 1 year ago

Boost is still working for me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Stealth, but you can't contribute to the site (which is a benefit imo)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Narwhal and Comet for iOS have both been working just fine…

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How is it still working when other apps are dead?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They got an extension

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Oh wow. TIL

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

where are you getting August 30th from?

nvm. lol you cant even see nsfw posts with the subscribed version. I don't see why the Dev would even bother.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was on a post on the subreddit

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So the plan for the subscription route is scrapped?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Nope Screenshot from the official Infinity for Reddit subreddit, confirming the August 30th release date for the subscription, $2.99 per month

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah, I see. So they're still pushing on.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yup

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So for the subscription cost you get to keep using infinity on reddit and see no ads? Also, not being able to see posts marked nsfw is missing out on a lot (I’m not referring to porn) so you’re stuck using the default app anyway so I don’t understand why the dev is pushing forward with it outside of maybe they see it as a passive income stream.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

If you could potentially continue to make money from an app you developed would you not try the same?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The new subscription will require the proprietary version from the play store.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

No but it involves proprietary software which I can not support. Not to mention reddit could just kill it anytime

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Infinity taking a few months to die gave me the time to get my alternatives ready: Lemmy, general usage. GBATemp, gaming stuff and jailbreaks. Mastodon, off topic stuff.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the heads up on gbatemp.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm greatful for the extra couple months. It gave Lemmy time to grow before I have to 100% commit to leaving Reddit.
