Nice work. I'm using obtanium, which I prefer, but that will give it some exposure.

MODERATORS
For the one person downvoted. Obtanium is not a Lemmy app, but an updater app. With obtanium you can auto update Eternity :-)
Haha. Two downvotes. Looks like reddit users really are here π
ayo, lemmy going mainstream?? nooooo
I can't get Obtainium to download it. What URL do I need to put in Add App?
Try this
https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy
And there's an option for allowing beta or similar? Make sure that is checked.

Can't wait for the F-Droid release!
Just in case you or another reader isn't aware: Eternity is available in an alternative app repository that can be added to F-Droid in the settings.
This repo, as stated in the description, takes released built by the developers instead of building them directly.
Still looking forward to the official F-Droid release of course :)
Pro tip, Izzy has a faster update cycle than the official repo so it's a great option for WIP apps even if they are available on both! ;)
Eternity is why I joined up to Lemmy. Got so used to Infinity that I was just going to bail on Reddit altogether, this way I can keep up the bad habits π
Note that this is not compatible with the existing releases as this build has a different signature.
Back up your settings before uninstalling your old version, then you should be able to import it to the Play Store version!
Settings > Advanced > Backup Settings
Thanks!
I used Liftoff but I missed Infinity since I moved to Lemmy, didn't want to use IzzyOnDroid.
Any plan on a build in the official F-Droid repo?
I'm waiting for a review there as well.

best client around hands down
Infinity was my favourite Reddit App, so seeing it ported over to the Fediverse is great!
Apologies if this has already been asked, but do you have any intention of making it compatible with Kbin?
Yes. When the "Lemmy part" is more or less completed, I'm planning on adding Kbin and possibly other fediverse services if I have the time.
Great to hear!
Fair enough, makes sense with Lemmy being the most active in this part of the Fediverse
Last I heard Kbin doesn't have an API in place for any apps to use at the moment (Not something I keep an eye on personally, just parroting what I've seen commented previously)
Ah, it does have one, though it is in beta (last I heard). If I'm remember correctly, there is an app called Artemis using it already

I'm using Lemmy only because you made this app. I hated the desktop interface and all others apps. This is the best without any doubt. Thank you!!!!!!!!
Ps: why is not everyone in lemmy talking and recommending this app???

Same question β
I've used Connect for Lemmy this whole time and haven't had any problems with it. What's the advantage of Eternity?

I can't stop noticing that it looks like a black pig with big orange eyes lol
In fact, I have never even considered that it is NOT something pig-like with orange eyes. Only this here comment made me see the mouse...
I think I only saw it "right" because of the Infinity for Reddit logo.
Thanks, now I see it too.

I'm using it right now with the biggest smile on my face. I didn't know this project existed, and Infinity was my favorite Reddit client.
I can't wait to be active on Lemmy because of this app, thank you!
Right? Feels like coming home βΊοΈ
Nice to hear about more great apps for Lemmy! I've become pretty entrenched in Connect with block lists, community specific settings etc. It would be a bit of a task to switch. For those familiar with both, I'm curious if anyone could share pros cons from experience?
Wonderful news. Thanks for your hard work!
eternity is the goat
aw yay, congrats!
congrats dev/s π well done. using it now.
Going to try it out because sync keeps crashing on me.
Hey, I'm not seeing these crashes come through. Any way to reproduce them? Cheers
4x - tap a link to comment, instantly taken to home screen, no error capture/report.
3x - scrolling down, instant crash to home screen, no error catch/report.
These have happened over the span of 4 hours of use over 3 days. Seems to have started since latest update.
Congrats!
Really pleased to see this :)
Great news!
Thank you, loving it so far.
This is great to see! Definitely makes things easier for ChromeOS installs. Do you plan on periodically merging in changes from Infinity if they're worthwhile? Or upstreaming any of your changes?
Yes! I think there are some features/fixes that could be beneficial for the upstream project as well.
Still can't find it on Play Store on my side, maybe it takes a few hours.
It should show up if you search for 'Eternity for Lemmy.' Actually, it's been out for a couple of days now. I just wanted to wait until it could be easily found through a search. Yesterday, I was only able to see it using the link. However, it may need some time to show up for everyone.
