You could’ve always done this, infinity has always been open source. However using this just means that you and others will be paying reddits ridiculous pricing for their own api access JUST to use infinity. Which iirc is gonna be around $25 a month per user depending on amount of use. Everytime you open that app itll be charging you for data…
This seems popular to some users now but I don’t see it going over to well when the bill comes due. Id rather take my chances going all in on Lemmy and helping support an instance with a community. Decentralization ftw.
I’ll admit I wasn’t familiar with the free tier. But if it gains any kind of traction though it’ll go away too. They’ve vehemently shown through their actions that they want 3rd party apps gone, nsfw content gone and ads served.
Personally I’m much more excited for Sync for Lemmy.
Oh I am too, however in the mean time I have compiled a version of infinity for Reddit using my own API key so that I can keep using Reddit though a 3rd party after the 1st. If you or anyone else wants to do that as well. Here is a free Google CoLab sheet that you input your API key into and it will compile a version of the app infinity but using your own API key. If the instructions aren’t clear, hmu and I can help out.
Yeah I made the same thing. Seems really silly and sectarious, also hypocrital for me people who insults you or downvote your comments a lot because you let to know the people this alternative or also by still using Reddit. I can use both, and they before were on Reddit, so less bullshit. Due a comment like this where I linked a Colab for the same, people downvoted me -13 and I received a stupid coment… Anyways.
It is dumb when people downvote something helpful just because they disagree. I will keep using Reddit until Lemmy has as much knowledge on it as Reddit. I’ll use the browser before I’ll use the official app but at the end of the day Reddit has over a decade of good advice on niche topics and when I need to know something I’m still gonna check Reddit first. At least for the time being.

It’s actually free to use the API below a certain limit. If you are a lurker or casual user you’ll be fine.

Same thought.
