Infinity for Lemmy
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!

My favourite Reddit client coming to Lemmy. Where do I give you my money?
It already is and oh boy it's pretty good!
My favorite reddit client, finally
Infimmy
I like it. But Infimmity makes me giggle a bit more.
To Infimmity and beyomd!
lemfinity
Lemfinity really really does work👍🏻
That means I can continue to create themes

Please add a license as it protects both you and your users!
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
apk download location?
I've just published the first alpha release!
Yup Goo is a no go
Awesome! Would be possible, in the future, to get it from F-droid and not only the Play Store? Like it was for Infinity!
I want to get an F-Droid release first, but I think it's too early for now.
I think getting it submitted to fdroid would be a lengthy process. As an alternative IzzyOnDroid repository could be considered.
Well, if it's not too early for the Play Store, why is it too early for F-Droid? :)
Probably. If not F-Droid, then Obtainium using the releases
Oh hell yes, infinity for reddit was my go to so this is great news!
Wow! Infinity for Reddit is the best foss reddit app. Glad to see he made it for Lemmy
This is amazing! Thank you.
I've been missing Infinity.
Is this from the original developer or is this a fork from a new developer?
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.
@[email protected] 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.
Thanks. The fact some things weren't changed made me a little confused.
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.
Thank you for the fast response!
Thanks again for your quick review. If you spot any major issues with this build please open an issue on codeberg.
There was an issue with loading subscriptions on the main activity, which I've fixed in this commit today (it's not in the release yet). If you click on the subscriptions menu option once, it will load them and store them in the database, so you will see them after that. Maybe this was the same issue?
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)
try this link in obtainium https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy/releases
Please post again when it's a little more fully developed... Looks really nice!
Been waiting for this! Thank you so much!
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
my favourite reddit client... cant wait to try it...
Infinity was really great But I already have 4 leemy android apps and they're all great. Might try it later tho.
Do any of them offer masonry gallery view like Infinity?
None but expect to be implemented in future.
That's my point. Infinity has a place among those apps.
Nice, post to ![email protected]
As a longtime infinity user, I can't wait to give it a spin!
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
I am planning on releasing an alpha version in a couple of days. It won't be anything fancy, just some basic functionality.
I got access to Codeberg's CI yesterday, so I will set up a pipeline for this project, and I think you will be able to download it with Obtainium this way. I also want to push for an F-Droid or IzzyOnDroid release as well.
Aw man
try this link in obtainium https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy/releases
Oh, I already added that a few days ago. Thanks for trying to help though.
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!
Java, huh? Is that an inherited tech stack or was that by choice?
Infinity is written in Java. I may port some parts of it to Kotlin some day, but It's not my priority for now.
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?
Contributions are appreciated!
The original client was made in java soo
Android apps are Java
More accurately, they’re Kotlin which is Java.
That is great! Infinity is my favorite app for reddit and I'm sure it will be great for lemmy also.
Ayyy let's gooooo!
Wonderful news! Hopefully mod functionality is in the pipeline 😀.
I have opened an issue for it!
Awesome. Thanks!
Great news, can't wait to finally use it for lemmy
Keep up the good work! 👍 👍
This is awesome! I used Infinity for Reddit too so it'd be nice to have that look and feel back.
Replying from infinity now. Wow it feels good to be home :)
Awesome, Infinity for Reddit was my jam.
You had me at downvote posts
Great! How do I download it?
Does it have a lemmy community?
We've just lunched ![email protected], the official community for the project!
I don't seem to see the option to subscribe
could you make it so long press hides the parent comment and its children?
Noice
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!
Looks great! I'll be watching the progress on this one, for sure. Keep us updated!
send your icon to icon pack makers btw!!
Thank you for doing this!
Infinity was my favorite Reddit app and I'd love to be able to use it for Lemmy
This is awesome! Definitely going to make the switch to this once it's ready.
Sweet, also for some reason Infinity for reddit still works.
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.
Commenting now from Infinity. It's good to be back.
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.
Glad to have you here bro...been an infinity for reddit user for forever and absolutely loved it.. <3
Used infinity for reddit as my maik, can't wait
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
This is great news!! I've used infinity for Reddit, super slick app!
Hell yeah! Thank you for your work :)
Really enjoyed the Infinity for Reddit app, so will definitely keep an eye out for this one... Cheers & good luck 🤞🏻
Thank you, one more project I don't have to do myself.
This looks awesome!!
been missing Infinity so much, thanks for making this
It definitely looks very promising! =)
Aw yeah! I loved Infinity for Reddit. It'd be great to have that icon back on my homescreen. :D
Two words... Thank you!
Amazing! Thanks for bringing infinity to Lemmy. It was my go-to app for Reddit.
Thank you! I'm home :)
Awesome, congratulations!!!
filtered posts only work on home for some reason
Can I use the backup form Infinity for Reddit to load my settings? All I really care about is my custom themes.
Infinity coming to Lemmy?!?! This makes my week.
Donated, you're doing good work <3
This looks cool.
Thanks
Thanks for working on this!
Thank you! love that app!
hell fucking yeah
Is it downloadable?
