I avoid the site when I can, but I use Revance-modded Infinity. You generate an API key on reddit.com and mod the APK with that via Revanced Manager. Unless I'm missing something: that gets you an ad-free Infinity experience for free. Fuck Reddit and fuck Spez. Hopefully the Fediverse will get more niche communities and I can abandon that site for good.

Has someone written this up as a how to? Same as you want to abandon, but still a few niches.

Download and install the Revanced Manager APK from https://revanced.app/download

Now you want to download the Infinity APK from https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/docile-alligator/infinity-for-reddit/

Now you open the Revanced app, go to the Patcher screen and "Select an application." Tap storage and navigate to the Infinity APK you downloaded. Tap "Selected Packages" and tap the gear next to "Spoof client." Enter your ClientID, which you get from:

https://www.reddit.com/prefs/app

After you enter that, tap Patch and wait patiently for your modded APK to be built. Now install that new APK and you should be set!

Obviously you should test any APK on VirusTotal (or similar) to make sure they are not malicious, but yeah. Please downvote me to hell if any links I posted are bullshit.
