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.
Eternity is on f-droid, if you add the izzydroid repo.
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.
ANYTHING for reddit is still working??
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.
hmm why don't they add a setting for user to enter their keys then?
Because its against the rules
What rules? Why does reddit generate API keys for the users if they are not allowed to use it?
Because Steve is a moron.
"Moron" would mean that that asshole did it by accident. Steve Huffman is a fucking, capitalistic greedy fucker and should be fired and deported to Apples HQ in Russia. Would be the perfect place for him.
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?
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
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?
I don't know anymore
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
Why the fuck do people even tolerate getting reddit links?!?
Stealth and geddit both work for browsing only. Enjoy.
Stealth scrapes old.reddit, doesn't count 🤪
If it works it works.
I still actively use infinity for my alt account. Once it's gone, I guess that's it for me for reddit. :/
Relay still works
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).
Boost is still working for me.
I think Narwhal is, but I don’t remember the details. Ironically, that’s the app I used to use, but the fact that they caved in and are cooperating with reddit just makes it an even less appealing option.
Stealth, but you can't contribute to the site (which is a benefit imo)
Narwhal and Comet for iOS have both been working just fine…
I still use rif with the patch method.
How is it still working when other apps are dead?
They got an extension
Oh wow. TIL
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.
It was on a post on the subreddit
So the plan for the subscription route is scrapped?
Nope
Ah, I see. So they're still pushing on.
Yup
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.
If you could potentially continue to make money from an app you developed would you not try the same?
The new subscription will require the proprietary version from the play store.
No but it involves proprietary software which I can not support. Not to mention reddit could just kill it anytime
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.
Thanks for the heads up on gbatemp.
I'm greatful for the extra couple months. It gave Lemmy time to grow before I have to 100% commit to leaving Reddit.
Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
