Infinity going subscription-only!
This morning when I opened Infinity to check Reddit, I saw the announcement above: they’re going subscription-only. Ironically enough, I couldn’t scroll down to see the rest of the message including prices, if there were any. I also couldn’t see if there was a button to close the message or start a paid subscription. I couldn’t proceed to Reddit at all. My only option was to close the app completely. So I uninstalled it.
That’s it for me using Reddit on mobile! Can’t say I’ll miss it much. But I added a LOT of content to Reddit that way, so it’s their loss. Fuck you, spez!
I was willing to pay infinty a subscription in order to keep using reddit, but Lemmy is actually far better than I expected, so I’m just not going back to reddit now!
FWIW I migrated from Infinity to RedReader and I’ve been pretty satisfied with it. It takes a little bit to get used to the different navigation but Infinity’s navigation was already annoying (I had moved to Infinity about 6 months ago from Slide, which I think had the best navigation of all of them but Slide has been abandoned for quite some time).
@pixelpop3 I went to redreader also at first because they where giving a pass from the third party api mess. only thing i didn’t like about redreader is that the notifications takes 30 mins cause they don’t want to go against the api limit/refresh rate. I already deleted my reddit account on the 13th so there is no point anymore!
