I thought all apps were broken on July 1st?
I’m pretty sure Infinity is one of the few to move to a subscription model, so it’s still up.
It’s crazy to me that Infinity and Relay think they can get by on subscriptions, when the only people who use it enough to pay a subscription, use it more, making it exponentially more expensive as it’s based on usage.
And let’s be real, if they’re getting ready to ban NSFW content on the apps anyway, nobody is going to keep paying for that.
That will give us a new post for leopard ate my face.
If you find that Lemmy, let me know! Still trying to find good equivalents and I’d love to add this one to my politics feed lol
Yeah the subscription is going to have to be so expensive and almost all that money went would think would go to Reddit.
The Relay developer has acknowledged this and has been tracking the number of users API calls, looking at the 90th, 95th, 99th percentiles as he expects these to be the users who pay a subscription. To me it seems like he’s done enough research to come up with an accurate price.
I’ve been a Relay Pro user for years and loved it, but I just don’t use Reddit enough to justify another subscription. I was okay with a 1 off payment (especially as it was just a couple of quid, although I would’ve been okay with way more), but I just can’t justify a subscription to Reddit for the value I get out of it.
I vaguely remember reading somewhere Infinity struck a deal with Reddit whereby Infinity will move to a subscription model some time in July. The downside is a new version of Infinity will be released and all previous versions will no longer work.
Just wondering if Reddit are getting a cut of the sub and that’s how Infinity managed to stay in the game.
You should be wondering if the developers get a cut from the subscriptions. Reddit bills them per usage, so they will definitely lose money on the very active users.
Reddit will get a large cut.
same… seems to work for me as well, i assume infinity dev hasnt revoked the api yet, not sure why, if thats the case, he will get billed.
That was my first thought, but I was also able to open up porn in the RiF app, which Reddit claimed was not going to be possible as a result of their server-side changes.
I read somewhere that nsfw stuff won’t be accessible from July 5th
Infinity has Spez’s dick up their throat.
Is that so?
I’d think it would be down the throat, unless they’re doing a handstand of course.
Infinity is going subscription-only in a coming update. The dev is just eating the costs until then.
Someone saw the RIF is also working again, but only to view content; it won’t allow you to log in.
RIF is working logged out, which is a bit surprising since u/TalkLittle pulled the API key
Put it down to Reddit jankiness
I kinda want to know how the API works that would allow for this jank. But not enough to go out of my way to learn something I will never use again 🤷🏻♂️
Also why is Joey still alive?
Probably just a matter of days or hours. Infinity for Reddit is still working in the developer percent it’ll be available for a couple days. I’m not sure the exact logistics of why but for some reason it seems that some people that are pivoting into a paid subscription model are able to stomach a few days
Joey for reddit is still working also, even the nsfw marked threads are up. No word from the dev for weeks now so I’m jot sure if they’re moving to a subscription model or what’s going on.
Relay for Reddit is also still working. It will go subscription later this month.
I’m just using my own api key with infinity. There was a post on the sub that had instructions for it.
Boost is still chugging along, too.
At the time of commenting, RIF is also working - judging by the way Reddit has handled things over the last month or so, I’m sort of expecting they’ve fucked up with the API switch
Holy moly. You’re right. Hello old friend. At least for now.
Does it though? I was surprised too, but for me it only works anonymously. As soon as I log in, it errors out.
That was at the time of commenting, 6 hours ago. I agree, I can’t access it any more either. No idea what’s going on with that!

Some people use the infinity source code and their own API key to have a private reddit app that is functionally identic to infinity, but is not connected to the official infinity app.
My reddit bots are still up as well…@ProgrammerHumor@prequelmemes
The API keys for third party apps still work if the developer (or Reddit) hasn’t revoked them.
I’m not sure about an API switch over, (migrating to a new version, revoking access etc), all I can remember is billing for API credentials starts rolling from 1 July and Reddit won’t start requesting payment for a month or so (citation needed)
Please correct me (with links to facts) if I’m wrong as I’m slightly out of the loop
Reddit left Reddit too little time to react to the changes. Probably. Unless they had planned this months ahead and just didn’t communicate there’s no way they had all up and running to latest spec in that timeframe.
