Infinity for Reddit plans to go subscription-only July 1st in hopes of sustainability, price undecided for now
Hey, I am sure you guys are aware of the upcoming Reddit API change, If you haven't had a chance to look into it yet, I recommend doing a quick...
Infinity, a lesser known open-source third-party Reddit app for Android, has announced that it will be switching to a subscription-only model. This would mean that the F-Droid version of the app will be delisted and the API key currently in the source code of the app will be removed. As of this post, the developer is currently not interested in converting Infinity into a Lemmy client, but encourages others to look into doing it themselves because of the app's open source nature.
You're viewing a single thread.
Infinity was a good replacement when Sync did its redesign, which I didn't care for. Ah well. I don't blame them of course, but reddit isn't something I'm going to pay a subscription to access on a 3rd party app on my phone.
Same here. No offense to the developer of Infinity, but I don't see too much value in accessing Reddit on mobile enough to pay for a subscription. Now that I have Lemmy, I'll probably only use Reddit while trying to search for a solution for something.
Probably the solution you will find will be deleted or edited to „fuck u/spez“ hopefully.
I see maybe 3 people on the whole planet subscribing to a 3PA for reddit
I feel like this is largely a culture thing on Android. Apollo has made the subscription model work with tons of success on iOS, where paid apps are normalized. For me, I'd happily fund an open source app, but not Reddit itself.
