Infinity was an excellent app. Was customizable enough for my needs and didn't intrude on my experience with ads or other stuff. Sad to see it go. I will probably just stop using it and just use Lemmy from now on.

I've been using infinity for a while now and it's fantastic. I would happily pay for it, if it weren't for the fact that most of the money would go straight to Reddit.
Farewell, Infinity. :(
Being an Infinity user, I loved the app. I wish I could use it again for Lemmy. But since I don't plan on going back to Reddit, I guess it's time to say goodbye...
Still, most if not all of that subscription fee is just going back to Reddit in API calls. Not interested in supporting them at all, whether through a first or third party app.
Infinity was a good replacement when Sync did its redesign, which I didn't care for. Ah well. I don't blame them of course, but reddit isn't something I'm going to pay a subscription to access on a 3rd party app on my phone.
Same here. No offense to the developer of Infinity, but I don't see too much value in accessing Reddit on mobile enough to pay for a subscription. Now that I have Lemmy, I'll probably only use Reddit while trying to search for a solution for something.
