Infinity for reddit will stop working on August 30th. Now is the time to lemmy to continue to shine

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:

!eternityapp@lemdro.id

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.
  
  https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/
- 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?
  
  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 🤪
- 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?
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.
