Thanks

I can't find it in the settings but is there any way to sort comments by popularity instead of time? Just like it is in normal reddit?

Apparently, if a post has more than 999 upvotes, it will wrap the number to the next line.

This is one of the features that I like the most of Infinity for reddit because it allows me to see all the subs I like without having to login in the app.

I love Eternity btw, great work!

Maybe it's my sausage fingers, but I often end up opening the post comments instead of upvoting and moving on as I intend.

My phone language is german, but I use Eternity in english. Every 2-3 days the menu items in the drawer menu on the left switch to german. The rest of the app stays in english. A quick switch back and forth between languages in the misc settings fixes it, but only short term.

Bonus Bug: There's a typo in the language selection settings. It should be called "Deutsch" instead of "Deutsche".

I've tried several ways to get the filter block to work. But it just won't filter out the keyword that i put in. How does it work? I can't figure it out.

Wrong image displayed in Home-View, correct image displayed when viewing just the post. This happened multiple times with various post.

Sometimes, the Home-View would switch to the correct image after viewing the post, sometimes not.

When tapping on the wrong image in Home-View to view just the image, the correct image gets displayed. Leaving this mode, the wrong image is displayed again.

Is it just me that Eternity becomes laggy when scrolling on multiple images? I tried scrolling the post on lemmy website and it works just fine. post example

Not sure how feasible this would be, but my favourite Reddit app (Joey) has this feature.

It allows a user to "follow" an arbitrary post or comment and receive an notifications when new comments or replies are posted. E.g. "Post 'abc' has 9 new comments" or "Comment 'xyz' has 3 new replies".

Useful for keeping up with active threads which have gotten buried in the feed due to age, as well as cases of "I have that question too, and would love to know the answer if someone responds".

Anyway, thanks Bazsalanszky for an already great app! It is my current most-used Lemmy app.

1. How do you add a community to Favourites in the side bar? I've already added one at some point in the past and can't remember how I accomplished that.

2. What is Lazy Mode?

I often find image posts where clicking on the thumbnail doesn't load the picture and shows a generic error message. If I copy the image link, I can open it ok in the browser. I haven't been able to tie this to specific instances or communities, so I don't know what might be causing it.

Has anyone else seen this issue?

I tried cross-posting from within the app, but the results were not what I expected when compared to the Lemmy desktop UI.

Cross-posting using the Eternity app yields this result: https://sh.itjust.works/post/8099344

• Post URL links to itself (not very useful)
• Post body contains only the name of the original community with no link or content

Cross-posting using the Lemmy desktop UI yields this result: https://sh.itjust.works/post/8144232

• Post URL links to the article (actually useful)
• Post body contains a link to the original post and quotes the content of the original post body

Edit to add tags: "cross post" "cross-post" "crosspost"

Hey everyone. I noticed theres an ootion in the settings to change what the tabs on top are showing, and I changed the last one from All to Multicommunities. However theres nothing there as I havent figured out how to create a multicommunity yet. Anyone have any advise? Thanks!

Feature request: Extend the upvote/downvote hitbox to include the vote tally (number) in addition to just the arrows. The arrows alone are pretty small target, and my fat finger frequently collapses the comment instead of voting.

I have had this issue for a while now that I cannot go to my previous comments or replies to my comments in my inbox, meaning I cannot tap on them to get to the post they are in.

Instead it briefly shows the post, then all content is gone and its a completely empty page. Just see the top and bottom bar essentially.

How to reproduce, just go to your profile, go to comments or posts you made, tap on one. Same for replies in my inbox.

Bookmark Users
As far as I understand, there's currently no feature in Lemmy to follow or bookmark users. Creating bookmarks for other users just in the Eternity app would still be useful though. By that i just mean some list of user accounts, no custom feed of their posts. The Sync App currently has such a feature, called "Favourites".

View Instances
When visiting some community or some user account, I would like to be able to get to an overview of their instance, primarily, to see what kind of communities are on that instance, and to see the main feed of that instance. That would be particularly helpful for themed instances, like country-specific instances. The Connect App currently has this feature.
Being able to search for an instance or to search some instance for posts/communities/users might also be helpful to some but is less desired by me.

Overall, Eternity is still my preferred Lemmy App, particularly because of its UI, but some other apps have features I would enjoy here as well.

The eternity for lemmy app have many bugs and almost everyone is reporting it correctly. But why the dev not giving the update to resolve the issues?

I've been unable to use the app for around a month since the last update, because the anonymous home page glitches the entire app, with the screen flickering and interacting with the app not working.

Has anyone discovered a fix for this? The closest "solution" I found is opening a lemmy link with the app. This lets me browse communities and users by searching for them, but I still can't use the app normally: home, all, and popular pages and the settings menu are inaccessible.

Also, if you haven't tried anonymous mode in the app, don't. That'll break your app lol

Thank you!

When using swipe nav from post to post, nothing gets marked as read. It's either a bug or I can't find the right settings to get the post to be marked as read.

Here's the settings I have turned on: Settings > Post History > everything is checked except for "Mark Posts as Read After Voting".

Thanks for the help!

On Reddit, ^^ requires escaping, because of that character being used for superscript, but on Lemmy, it should be displayed normally, because of using standard Markdown.

Thanks
