Infinity for Lemmy (codeberg.org)

Hello everyone,

I'm not sure this is the right community for this, but I want to announce my new project: Infinity for Lemmy.

Basically, this is a fork of the Infinity for Reddit application, modified to get it to work with Lemmy.

But I must remind you to temper your expectations as this project is still in its infancy. It has some basic features already in place, but there’s a lot more to be accomplished.

What Infinity for Lemmy Can Currently Do:

•	Browse posts
•	Handle multiple accounts
•	Upvote and downvote posts

What Infinity for Lemmy Cannot Do (Yet):

•	Load comments
•	Handle subscriptions
•	Search for posts, users, or communities
•	Write posts or comments
•	Send private messages
•	And many more

So, while Infinity for Lemmy is in its current state not a feature-rich client, but it’s a promising start.

For those interested, here’s the link to my git repository: https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy

I invite everyone to contribute in whatever capacity they can, whether it be through coding, reporting bugs, suggesting features, or even just providing feedback and insights. Let’s shape the future of Infinity for Lemmy together!

Awesome! Would be possible, in the future, to get it from F-droid and not only the Play Store? Like it was for Infinity!

[–] bazsalanszky@lemmy.toldi.eu 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I want to get an F-Droid release first, but I think it's too early for now.

[–] pacjo@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

I think getting it submitted to fdroid would be a lengthy process. As an alternative IzzyOnDroid repository could be considered.

Probably. If not F-Droid, then Obtainium using the releases

Is this from the original developer or is this a fork from a new developer?

[–] eroc1990@lemmy.parastor.net 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a fork from a new developer, though strangely it seems like the ReadMe hasn't been changed and still points back to the original Infinity GitHub repo from Docile-Alligator.

@bazsalanszky@lemmy.toldi.eu you may want to consider removing the original owner's content from your Readme on Codeberg, especially if you plan on maintaining this long-term.

UPDATE: I have just released the first alpha version of this project. You can find it here.

You can also use the project link from the post to grab the apk with Obtainium as well.

Thanks for what you're doing, dude. And congratulations on this project.

Replying from infinity now. Wow it feels good to be home :)

[–] erranto@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Great news, can't wait to finally use it for lemmy

Keep up the good work! 👍 👍

[–] TheDoctorDonna@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

This is awesome! I used Infinity for Reddit too so it'd be nice to have that look and feel back.

[–] Blazingflames6073@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (6 children)

Are there any releases yet? I tried looking but I'm not familiar with codeberg. Obtainium can't seem to grab it from the link directly either

Infinity has been my Reddit client of choice for years and this is exactly what I've been waiting for. I'll definitely be following the development progress from now on.

Glad to have you here bro...been an infinity for reddit user for forever and absolutely loved it.. <3

[–] PopOfAfrica@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago

As an ex infinity user myself, this is going to be a godsend once its ready.

[–] brutallyhonestcritic@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Java, huh? Is that an inherited tech stack or was that by choice?

[–] bazsalanszky@lemmy.toldi.eu 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Infinity is written in Java. I may port some parts of it to Kotlin some day, but It's not my priority for now.

[–] DeriHunter@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I didn't know it's in Java. I never contributed to an open source before, do you mind if I take a look and see if I can assist?

[–] bazsalanszky@lemmy.toldi.eu 6 points 1 year ago

Contributions are appreciated!

Wonderful news! Hopefully mod functionality is in the pipeline 😀.

[–] bazsalanszky@lemmy.toldi.eu 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have opened an issue for it!

I can't contribute much beyond a crisp high five and best wishes. Infinity was my reddit browser for a couple years until the migration.

[–] coconutxyz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Holy shittttt55

[–] gaw@lemmy.cafe 5 points 1 year ago

This is great news!! I've used infinity for Reddit, super slick app!

[–] amenotef@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm not going to start raising bugs because this is an alpha and there is no time for bug fixing at the moment.

But sending this comment from the app (editing from the desktop). I'm really happy to be browsing Lemmy with my account and my favourite Reddit app. And the smoothest one.

I basically enable compact layout as default. Then I change post title size to small (so I can fit more posts at once) and I'm good to go! (There are probably a few more configs I change like material ui, etc, but those are secondary).

I think you should create a community for the app. It looks already good. There are probably lot of potential users that would join to discuss.

Thank you Dev!
