I have no experience with Infinity, but Liftoff is a nice new app for Lemmy, which feels much more polished than Jerboa.

Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll try it out.
Former infinity user- liftoff is pretty great. Not as smooth just yet but damn close and updated frequently.
I tried all the Reddit apps back in the day and I don't remember exactly how Infinity was but just wait a few weeks for Sync for Lemmy and I promise you won't be disappointed.
Sync was a Reddit app before, right? Never tried it, what are some of it's features? Regardless, I'll keep an eye out for it.
Sync was very, very customizable. It was my primary reddit app, in the old days.
What was it that you find most important that's missing from Jerboa?
Dunno honestly, I think I just want the feel of Infinity back. The customizability, the fluidity. I've been back and forth between Jerboa and Liftoff for about an hour now and can safely say that they both actually hit pretty close. Now I just need the easy of finding what I'm looking for in the app whether it be searching for a community or a specific post.
Something odd I've noticed is that Liftoff doesn't seem to have a notification center? Quite strange seeing how that's an integral part of the social experience. Early days I suppose.
No experience with infinity, but I'm liking Liftoff! so far.
Thanks, I'll give it a shot.
Actually Infinity IS coming to Lemmy. I'm not sure why no one knows about this yet because I've heard a ton of talk about it.
😱 😱 😱 No way! Thank you so much for letting me know! Oh my god, you can check the subreddit, I posted something requesting the dev to make a Lemmy client and everyone told me they wouldn't do it. You're an amazing person. I hope you sleep on the cool and comfortable side of the pillow tonight.
Edit: I may have jumped the gun a little on that last one, but taking a second look at the github, I don't see anything that says it's coming to Lemmy. Unless Everything is a Lemmy/Mastadon instance that I don't know about.
Everything is a middleware that connects with multiple services and currently has early compatibility with Lemmy. See here.
Thanks for the heads up, I'll be sure to check it out.
Eternity - an Infinity fork - it's amazing!
