    Using Infinity for Lemmy right now to reply to your comment. Infinity WAS my Reddit app. And really happy to have it again for Lemmy.

          Haha. Nope. All are logged in with my single account. I am testing then all to see which fits my usage better. I’m loving Voyager more than the others rn.

    I have been using it since the original release. The developer is very active and listens to all the feedback and has improved it greatly over the past week. Definitely recommend everyone to check it out

    I’m stupid, I don’t know how to use anything that isn’t an app on the play store.

    Eta: thanks everyone, I’ll get my SO to translate after work lol.

      You download and install the APK file. When prompted to allow your browser to allow installation from unknown sources, you grant the permission.

        When you install an APK directly like this as opposed to installing it from a package manager like F-Droid or Play Store, do you have to manually install upgrades when they’re available?

          In general, you do have to manually download and install updates. However, some apps will automatically check and download their own updates. Also, if the APK is available on a site such as Github or Gitlab, there is an app called Obtainium that you can use. It will notify you when an update is available, and download and install it for you if you choose: https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium

      Also: fdroid exists. It’s like a playstore just for open source stuff. You just download it from their website and install the .apk like you would use an .exe in windows.

          You should enable “Include pre releases” option after pasting the link and before trying to install it. I think since the app version is still below 1.0, its considered a pre release somehow.

      It’s fairly simple on modern Android. You simply download the APK file, and open it. It will then walk you through the install process.

      If you haven’t installed an app from your web browser before, you’ll get a prompt saying your security settings don’t allow the browser to install apps. There will be a settings link there. Tap that link and you’ll get a list of apps that have the capability to install things. Find your web browser in the list and tap the toggle to give it permission, then back out. Then your app will install.

      Having been through the process of getting apps through the play store and chrome store admission process a few times my suggestion is:

      Don’t.

      They caught me inadvertently misusing public APIs, performing unnecessarily battery draining ops and plain privacy right violations so often that I certainly don’t want to use other apps that didn’t go through the process. As a dev it is super annoying, but as a user it is exactly as annoying as I hope it is.

      Anecdotal evidence of course and probably an unpopular opinion around here.

    I was an Infinity user on Reddit before the APIcalypse. Trying this out now, and it looks great. Thanks!

    One thing I’ve noticed is that it throws an error when trying to load the sidebar for a Kbin magazine. I’m not sure if you have full Kbin support on your road map, but that particular issue might be worth looking at for inter-operability’s sake even before implementing Kbin completely.

    Nice! Is it planned to release it on f-droid or any f-droid repository? Appreciate the work, still using Infinity for Reddit! Edit: Found a comment from the dev over on reddit that he plans to put a version on f-droid! Awesome guy!

    The latest update is so awesome. The app is so fast and buttery smooth now. Just like how I remember it, maybe even smoother.

    Slightly off topic. Obtainium sees that there’s an update to 0.0.7, but can’t seem to update 0.0.6. It downloads, tries to update, and boom - update available, with currently installed 0.0.6. Uninstall, reinstall, 0.0.6 again. I guess that’s just an Obtainium issue. A little weird though.

      Nope! It’s my fault. I forgot to update the version number before building this release.

        No worries! I just started using Obtainium recently, so I wasn’t sure if it was me - but it was the only app doing that after a new update. Glad it was easily and quickly figured out! 😊

      Obtainium has a setting just for issues like this.

      Click on Infinity for Reddit in the app >click edit button bottom left > change Version Detection option to Use Release Date As Version

        I must have missed that, as I selected No Version Detection and ended up on 0.0.6 again. Thanks for the heads up!

    This looks amazing for a pre release. Infinity was my daily Reddit app too. So glad to see it here.

    I hope it will be compatible with kbin eventually.

    It also became my main app for Lemmy (I had like 6 installed). And the Dev is working really fast. Every 24-48 he drops some cool stabilizing updates.

      I’m considering implementing kbin support once the “Lemmy part” is in a better shape.

      Also, could you update me on the status of the kbin API? Is it not yet available?

        I can’t find the announcement but the kbin API is live on artemis.camp which Hariette has been using to test the API for the Artemis app (now in public beta I believe but the public beta only supports the API instead of web scraping so it only works with artemis.camp). I think I read that the API is on track to be released in the next week or two so by then other kbin instances should start having an API as well.
