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:

β€’	Browse posts
β€’	Handle multiple accounts
β€’	Upvote and downvote posts

What Infinity for Lemmy Cannot Do (Yet):

β€’	Load comments
β€’	Handle subscriptions
β€’	Search for posts, users, or communities
β€’	Write posts or comments
β€’	Send private messages
β€’	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!

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.

[–] theghostoutside_@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For some reason, the link (https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy) doesn't work in Obtainium for me. It just says 'Could not find a suitable release'. Any ideas? (I have a number of other apps working fine)

[–] jmf@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] jackpot@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

send your icon to icon pack makers btw!!

[–] Oneeightnine@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My favourite Reddit client coming to Lemmy. Where do I give you my money?

[–] iasad12@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It already is and oh boy it's pretty good!

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

Does it have a lemmy community?

[–] bazsalanszky@lemmy.toldi.eu 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

We've just lunched !infinityforlemmy@lemdro.id, the official community for the project!

[–] Powerpoint@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

I don't seem to see the option to subscribe

[–] jackpot@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

could you make it so long press hides the parent comment and its children?

[–] frippa@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

My favorite reddit client, finally

[–] amenotef@lemmy.world 3 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!

[–] ColdWater@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

This looks great Infinity is my favorite client and I'm glad it's back again, thanks you for your work can't wait for the official release

[–] Charlatan@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Thank you! I'm home :)

Lemfinity really really does workπŸ‘πŸ»

[–] sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] eroc1990@lemmy.parastor.net 1 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.

[–] sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks. The fact some things weren't changed made me a little confused.

[–] yak@feddit.it 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] American_Jesus@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That means I can continue to create themes

Please add a license as it protects both you and your users!

[–] jackpot@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

filtered posts only work on home for some reason

[–] sabriy01@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Wow! Infinity for Reddit is the best foss reddit app. Glad to see he made it for Lemmy

[–] dcellini@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] dcellini@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Commenting now from Infinity. It's good to be back.

[–] draz@feddit.rocks 1 points 1 year ago

Super excited to see it evolve! I used infinity for Reddit for a while. Big bonus for it being open source! Once it gets some more updates it might be my main app again haha

[–] BosnianCevap@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Oh hell yes, infinity for reddit was my go to so this is great news!

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

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

[–] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

You had me at downvote posts

[–] greendakota99@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I’m not an Android user but this looks awesome! I love all the apps popping up everywhere for Lemmy and how good they work already!

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

Will it ever be on F-droid? It takes a while to get though the F-droid review process so I would reach out and start the process

[–] SinX@group.lt 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] kluevo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

As a longtime infinity user, I can't wait to give it a spin!

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

Holy shittttt55

[–] adhdplantdev@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

This looks awesome!!

[–] brutallyhonestcritic@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

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

Contributions are appreciated!

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Android apps are Java

[–] brutallyhonestcritic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

More accurately, they’re Kotlin which is Java.

[–] SuperSpaceFan@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

apk download location?

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

I've just published the first alpha release!
