Infinity, a lesser known open-source third-party Reddit app for Android, has announced that it will be switching to a subscription-only model. This would mean that the F-Droid version of the app will be delisted and the API key currently in the source code of the app will be removed. As of this post, the developer is currently not interested in converting Infinity into a Lemmy client, but encourages others to look into doing it themselves because of the app’s open source nature.

I never really cared for Infinity. Every FOSS app has one strange idiosyncrasy that the developer is extremely stubborn about and won’t compromise on: for example, weather app Wx is perfect but for the fact that the developer refuses to incorporate location services. With Infinity, it was the fact that the app didn’t store the read/unread state of posts persistently, and because the app had an option to hide read posts, the dev just wontfixed it and called it a day. Some people had no issue with that but for me it was unusable.
