I know that Connect, Sync, and Thunder all exist, but which one feels closest to Infinity for Reddit? Been using Jerboa since I switched from Reddit to Lemmy, but so far it hasn't been an amazing experience. I understand that it's still super early in development and I know that issues are inevitable but I haven't seen this question asked yet so I figured I'd ask. I used Infinity for years, it was an amazing service, too bad they aren't making the switch.
Which Lemmy app is closest in feel to Infinity for Reddit?

Thanks for the heads up, I'll try it out.

Former infinity user- liftoff is pretty great. Not as smooth just yet but damn close and updated frequently.

I tried all the Reddit apps back in the day and I don't remember exactly how Infinity was but just wait a few weeks for Sync for Lemmy and I promise you won't be disappointed.
Call_Me_Maple 2 points 3 years ago
Sync was a Reddit app before, right? Never tried it, what are some of it's features? Regardless, I'll keep an eye out for it.

Dunno honestly, I think I just want the feel of Infinity back. The customizability, the fluidity. I've been back and forth between Jerboa and Liftoff for about an hour now and can safely say that they both actually hit pretty close. Now I just need the easy of finding what I'm looking for in the app whether it be searching for a community or a specific post.
Something odd I've noticed is that Liftoff doesn't seem to have a notification center? Quite strange seeing how that's an integral part of the social experience. Early days I suppose.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

Welcome brother, sad state that Reddit is in nowadays. Glad to see you've found another comfortable nook. Been using Liftoff for a bit now and it's actually quite nice. Reminiscent of Infinity in many ways.

😱 😱 😱 No way! Thank you so much for letting me know! Oh my god, you can check the subreddit, I posted something requesting the dev to make a Lemmy client and everyone told me they wouldn't do it. You're an amazing person. I hope you sleep on the cool and comfortable side of the pillow tonight.
Edit: I may have jumped the gun a little on that last one, but taking a second look at the github, I don't see anything that says it's coming to Lemmy. Unless Everything is a Lemmy/Mastadon instance that I don't know about.

Everything is a middleware that connects with multiple services and currently has early compatibility with Lemmy. See here.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll be sure to check it out.

Eternity - an Infinity fork - it's amazing!

I have no experience with Infinity, but Liftoff is a nice new app for Lemmy, which feels much more polished than Jerboa.
