Hey, folks, I just got a new phone, and reinstalled Eternity on it. But no matter which account I try to log in with, I'm getting an error ("cannot fetch user info") when I try to log in.

Any help is much appreciated. I'm not sure if eternity is on the play store, but I got it through f droid if that matters.

does eternity have internet access?

So you know how I would check that on an android?

Settings -> Apps -> Eternity -> Mobile Data and WiFi

Depending on your ROM, you should see one or all of these toggles

  • Allow network access
  • WiFi data
  • Mobile data
  • Background data
  • VPN data
  • Unrestricted data usage

The first 2 at least should be enabled by default

Tbh I don't think this is the issue, there hasn't been an update to eternity in 6 months and I wouldn't be surprised if its buggy from a Lemmy update

We've got a winner! It didn't work with eternity, but eternity (nightly) works after turning on data while data saver is turned on. Thank you!

while data saver is turned on

This might be the problem. Are you using a Xiaomi phone?
