my favorite one is and its a fork which would never be able to happen with any proprietary app

sorry, what does this mean ?

I am going to assume you want to know what a fork is. if not, ignore me.

If the sourcecode of a software is publicly available, someone can take that sourcecode and develop it into a different direction than the original software. In this case, a third-partt reddit app called Infinity is being developed into a Lemmy app by someone who is not the original dev.

thanks, it makes sense now.

It means that, because the reddit version was open source, some completely different Dev was able to take it and rework it to work with lemmy
