Looks like the last commit that's not a translation was 3 months ago, latest release was half a year ago.

Is there a way to change the background color of the menu that pops up when you select the three stacked dots in the top right?

Does anybody have a guide to using filters? I've tried to set them up for specific words and instances but none of them have worked.

Hello devs!

Just a little input from me: when we're showing specific comment (like from profile or from inbox), it would be nicer to be able to show just the parent comment for context, instead of showing the whole thing (only to have the user look for it).

I have noticed some posts here lamenting Eternity falling behind in development, the last substantial release 5 months old.

However, the last post by the developer was last month, so I do not believe it has been abandoned, I think they just got busy with other things, and will hopefully return someday when they have the time.

But I think it appropriate to emphasize that Eternity is open-source software, given to us for free and out of good will of the developer, Bazsalanszky. I think now would be a good time to show him our appreciation for the work he did in gifting us with one of the finest apps on the lemmyverse, and to return his goodwill.

If you have the means, the developer has a librapay account where you can donate a small sum of your choosing. As a point of comparison, Boost for Lemmy (a closed source app with trackers) charges $3.99 to remove ads (Eternity has never had ads).

If you don't have the means to donate, I'm sure Bazsalanszky would appreciate a kind message instead. :)

Since a few days I've not been able to see my up votes. If I go to my profile, I see the sum total of my comments and of my posts, but next to them I see two zeros.

This seemed to coincide with the Lemmy.World update.

I logged out and back in more than once, but it doesn't change this issue.

Has this happened to anyone else? If so, how did you fix it?

Thanks anyways for reading this

I think we are alone

I'm on Samsung Galaxy A32 4G.

The post has 6 up- and 4 downvotes. On the homepage I only see the upvotes, not the sum of both. I can only see the downvotes when I open the post.

edit: extra info:

Update: at the recommendation of others, I logged out and back in again. Seems to be working!

Loving Eternity, thanks devs for all your work!

Lemmy.world updated today to 0.19.3, I think? Since then, I can load posts, but I can't vote, comment, or create new posts. When I attempt to do any of those, an empty toast bubble shows up, and that's it.

Anyone else experiencing the same?

Hi, I get this message every time I tap on a pop-up notification from eternity on my phone. Does anyone else get this error or know what could be the cause?

Eternity version 0.1.2

If you're like me and don't want to wait for long awaited features like scaled sorting, try the nightly version. It installs as a separate app next to Eternity stable. So in case it crashes you can always go back to stable.

I'm unable to load my own profile in Eternity. Having this issue across multiple accounts. Tapping "Profile" in the sidebar brings up my profile but it's empty, no posts load. Anyone know how to fix?

Eternity hasn't been updated in 4 months, in that time Lemmy itself got some really nice features like scaled sorting and instance blocking, but that's not something that we can do yet since there haven't been any updates

If the current developer simply doesn't have the time to put out updates, that's alright, I want to know if there are any actively updated forks because Eternity is otherwise an absolutely killer app, I adore the customization especially!

Unless there's a big update on the horizon, and afterwards updates become more regular and implement new technologies officially supported by Lemmy, in which case it'd be nice to have regular betas released publicly (I'm actually part of the apps beta program on google play, but that hasn't been updated either) or otherwise posted about on the main sublemmy

I've met a couple other Eternity users in the wild recently, and our consensus is the same: We like the app, alot, but wish it was updated every now and then

If there aren't any updates soon, and development will stay at this silent pace, then I'll probably just try out and use the other foss apps out there

Whatever the case, I still thank the eternity devs for what they do!

The post shows up static while it animates in a browser.

The browser downloads a webp, while the app gets jpgs.

I'm having issues logging into the lemdroid instance since it updated. Not sure if the issue is with the app or the site but posting to see if anyone else is having issues?

All posts are hidden sometimes on my profile when I want to go back to one because they are all hidden. Would be nice if read posts could be not hidden on profile view.

I've been using the stable release and I'm fine with it, but a feature that I really miss is the multicommunities (or multireddits, how it's called in Infinity).

Does anybody know if the 'multicommunity' feature it's already in Eternity Nightly or it's still WOP?

Edit: Never mind, I installed Eternity Nightly and the PR for the multicommunities feature is already merged, it works as intended although if you try to add a community that you don't follow the app just crash, but apart from that, it works!

Fixed height setting in Interface > Posts doesn't work. Post 1 & 2 are fine, but post 3 is way too long.

I would expect each post (card) to have the exact same height regardless of image height.

Lemmy offers the option to link a Matrix account to your Lemmy account. On the web interface, every Lemmy account to have done so shows a "Send encrypted message" button that directly links to that Matrix account.

Could such a button also be integrated into the Eternity app?

For those who don't know, direct messages on Lemmy aren't encrypted. They are, I think, exchanged via the ActivityPub protocol which doesn't provide for encrypted communication.

Matrix is a different federated, open source protocol, designed for encrypted direct messaging and encrypted group chats. It's a bit like Discord, but federated and open source. You can create an account for example on element.io which offers both a web interface and downloadable apps for most operating systems.

I am a bit surprised this is still an issue even tho I just downloaded the app. slrpnk.net updated to Lemmy 0.19.2 a couple days ago and I'm experiencing the Bad Cookie issue caused by the switch. I fixed it with the browser version, can't seem to fix it with any of the apps I've tried, including this one. The exact error message Im facing is "Can't fetch user info"

It seems like I'm not able to log in to Eternity with my account from the lemm.ee instance? I have been able to sign in with a lenmy.world account. I'm posting this from the Voyager app where I had no issue signing in.

Hi there! Thank you for having this app on F-Droid, and more importantly for creating this app! As a (former) user of Infinity, I'm really grateful to have basically the same app for Lemmy.

I'd like to give a bit of my input. Actually this is a bit of my pet peeve from the old app as well.

Compared to the other apps (e.g. Boost, Jerboa), this one does not provide a homing button (i.e. a clear way to return to top). While the Refresh button in the menu is useful, relying on that is less than ideal. It is awkward at best and confusing at worst.

I'm not sure if the general consensus here would agree (some input here would be appreciated), the general flow on social media app would be to simply press the home button to go to the top of the feed, occasionally swiping down to refresh. This has worked for me not only on Twitter & Instagram, but also on Mastodon apps (both the official app as well as Tusky), the other Reddit apps, as well as other Lemmy apps.

I noticed that the bottom nav bar is identical with the Reddit app. However, the two buttons on the left are redundant as they function exactly the same (due to Lemmy not having the equivalent to multireddit). Could we have the leftmost button as home? I feel like it's the de facto standard these days.

I'd like to know what y'all think!

Will we get scaled sorting in Eternity?
