Infinity for Lemmy is on F-Droid through IzzyOnDroid's repository now!

My favorite Reddit client Infinity has a Lemmy version now, it's still heavily WIP (pre-release) but works like a charm already. A few hours ago IzzyOnDroid added it to his F-Droid repository so while it's not in the official one yet, which isn't that easy with a pre-releases app and only updates weekly, you can install and update it thought your favorite F-Droid client now! If you use F-Droid you should have Izzy's repo anyway, otherwise you did something wrong! ;)

This should be enough but if you have issues adding his repo I recommend to get Aurora Droid, it's a beautiful F-Droid client and has a list of useful third party repos you can enable with a single click!

Edit: some more useful links to check!

This is highly misleading. It is, in fact, not in the F-droid repository. It's in the IzzyOnDroid repo which is a fully separate identity that happens to be a repository which speaks the F-droid API.

It has none of the stringent quality gates that F-droid so great and even allows unfree software IIRC.

Edit: Title has been updated

- It's a little clickbaity but I don't think "On F-Droid" means "In the F-Droid Repository" or?

  It certainly reads that way to me and is easily misunderstood. I'd just stay factual and say "Infinity for Lemmy is available in the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repository now!".

- Sometimes things break with the rapid update cycle but especially for WIP apps it's really useful to get updates on a daily instead of a weekly basis and Izzy is doing a fantastic job!

Can I download and install aurora Droid from your link if I already have fdroid installed on my phone?

- Yes but it's on F-Droid so you can just use that too, multiple F-Droid clients have no issue coexisting on one device, I actually had both on mine for a very long time because I didn't care to uninstall one till I cleaned up again. ;)

  Just installed aurora Droid. It's so beautiful and modern looking! Also the one click addition of repos is great. Also like the look of Infinity.
