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!
I'm going cold turkey on Reddit for exactly this reason. I realised that if I allowed myself to use Reddit if I couldn't find the content I want elsewhere, then I'll never actually leave it.
Instead I'm trying to now use Lemmy to find the communities that I'm interested it, and to make the content that I'd like to see.

Jotting some quick notes I've observed so far from running /m/scifi for a couple of weeks and getting to 3K subscribers:...
