Damn now this is just next level bullshit. I thought that even if I can't use Infinity anymore I can still access reddit through a firefox mobile with adblock and privacy addons to make the ux somewhat bearable.
So..
Destroy reddit speedrun any% [WORLD RECORD]
Yeah the desktop site especially is why i wanted to leave reddit for the past few months, im happy they shot themselves in the foot the past week so we could move over to a different platform. I kept having to switch back to old.reddit just to see a NSFW post without an account, they made it so you cant even sort comments anymore without being logged in recently. Just malicious design. The website on mobile has been shit for years now asking you to USE THE MOBILE APP.
I'm really hoping for Infinity for Lemmy... My first experience with reddit was from Infinity. That app is great.
The dev posted on r/Infinty_For_Reddit that he's gonna try a subscription model first, and that he personally doesn't use Lemmy, so there's no Infinity for Lemmy client in the works, although he says that making Infinity For Lemmy should be easy with the API Proxy that the Lemmy Developers are making

You can spoof the user-agent, it's a PITA but not that hard. I did it to use chat gpt with bing, but didn't bother for Reddit
I recommend libreddit, no commenting and it's slower, but at least it works on mobile
Unfamiliar with the way libreddit retrieves its data. If it's supposed to work after API BS, I'm guessing good ol' scraping?
It uses the API. They're discussing what to do next, probably "wait and see" for now https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit/issues/785
