Yes, the Infinity for Reddit fork.

The cool thing is that I just imported my settings from IFR to Eternity flawlessly.

yeah it works well can confirm

[–] z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yep. I've tried other clients, but somehow this one just stuck for me. Simple interface, works well.

Just don't use anything proprietary like Sync or Connect

I use Eternity it's foss and a fork of infinity for reddit

[–] theDutchBrother@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I feel like I'm on Infinity but was transported to a better version of Reddit.

I would recommend any of the open source apps, my personal recommendation is Eternity.

You can find it on f-droid.

I would stick with one of the open source apps. Thunder is my favorite, but Voyager and Eternity are good as well.

What lemmy apps aren't open source?

[–] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sync, Boost, Connect and Summit, to name a few.

You could use the website in a webbrowser. Then you don't have to be concerned about app and app provider.

It's what I'm using. On mobile too.

Any working what?

I'm using the website of my instance. Lemmy instances typically have their own website you can use - which is exactly or slightly modified versions of the interface of the Lemmy project.

If you trust your instance with your account and its associated data surely you trust it's website.

@Kissaki I want to know if there is any app (client) which works. Because I have tried some from F-droid and they show login error.

Open the actual post and you will see various and numerous answers, including mine.

Dunno why you @ me on my comment when I specifically talked about not using an app but the website.

Mastodon accounts automatically add the @

I use Connect for lemmy. Doesn't ask for any permissions.

Voyager is on both platforms, Jebora is only for Android, both are pure open source so you have full privacy and anonymity.

[–] backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 year ago

This is all opinions here, so I'm just saying that Sync is the only one I know that's closed source.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sync is the absolute best app but I think privacy is probably not great.

But this is Lemmy so you don't even need to use an email address if you don't want. You can be semi anonymous and change username often if you want, and change between apps or instances also.

Data is never gone but it's also not tied to anything real about you.
