I still don’t like it, doesn’t look like there’s any new options either. Luckily I just found out that someone forked Infinity over, which was my second favorite Reddit app, and it is FOSS.
Infinity was originally a Reddit app that has been forked. This came up more than once:
“This is intended”.
Maybe that’s different now, but normal people don’t pay attention to feature upgrades on open source projects that they don’t use, and the fact that this was intended behavior led me to believe there was no particular reason it would ever change, especially since it still hadn’t when I last used the app some time after the dev commented in the second screenshot.
I know that it is a fork of a Reddit app, I’m saying you can make your own fork and implement features you think are better that you know aren’t going to be part of the main project. That’s the beauty of FOSS. You are also conflating two different issues here. The first example is about using multiple devices. What that person wants is that they hide the submissions not just locally but through Reddit on the account level, so that they would be hidden even on other devices (like the desktop or for some reason a second mobile device). The second issue is something I just tested in between my comment and the edit and I did not see the postings that were hidden even after restart & refreshing. It’s also something they didn’t say is impossible or would be unintended, but rather said that it is indeed possible.
Yeah once I tweaked list view to use large fonts, I was much happier. I don’t really have any major issues with it yet, except that I can’t assign a shortcut to go to the comments from a gesture. It’s just a habit from a previous Reddit app that’s tough to break.
Unsurprisingly the same issues as the Reddit app. The fonts are all over the place, the layout is kinda weird and the thumbnails are tiny.
I really didn’t like sync before, but gave it another try and really customized the UI and like it a lot now. The default font is so tiny

I wasn’t aware of this! Thanks for putting this on my radar
This is amazing news. Thank you for letting us know!
The project’s official community is also here: [email protected].
Too bad Infinity has that weird fixation on not marking posts as read persistently, it would be great if not for that.
Feel free to contribute.
It was like that because of a deliberate design choice that enjoyed widespread support
What design choice exactly? You can always fork it if you want to.
Edit: I just tried and the hidden posts all seem to stay hidden even after restarting the app. What exactly are you missing / is your problem?

Sync is so customizable. If you are willing to go through all the settings it’s worth it.
