Worth noting it is not affiliated with the original dev. This guy forked it and took the name.

meh, it's a bit shit if the original dev wants to make his own Lemmy app.

[-] Rustmilian@lemmy.world 53 points 1 year ago

The infinity dev literally said to fork it because he has no plans to support lemmy himself.

Pretty sure the original developer of Infinity is one of the few people who will try to follow Reddit's new API rules and charge a subscription fee to cover it. At least that was the case a few months ago. Not sure what's currently happening.

[-] LFR@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yep, that's the reason why infinity still works. Seems like they gave the devs who want to continue some time to figure it out.

[-] dimspace@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's been very quiet on that front

A lot of people (myself included) are using a modded version of Infinity that allows you to put in your own API key.

You don't even need to do that, still works without doing anything.

[-] dimspace@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeh, little worried dev is gonna get a huge bill from Reddit

[-] LFR@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Because all the apps that where the devs said that they want to continue still work, I think they got some kind of deal with a new deadline to figure it out or something.

He didn't and this is the whole point of open source.

[-] tired_n_bored@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

He said he would not

And filled it with ads. Gutted.
