In space...
Edit: I use Eternity specifically because it's a fork of my favourite Reddit client. Idk man... I don't wanna relearn another client 🥺
Same... When I used reddit, infinity was the only app I ever used, and this is the only lemmy app I ever used

I'm not interested in doing android dev (actually I am, but not the way any of the toolchains I found so far want me to, and so the learning curve is just too steep for me), but "someone" should take the lead. Maybe do a soft fork, open PRs, and nudge the maintainer. Who knows, possibly they will be giving commit rights. 🙂
We're getting abandoned like Liftoff
Sad times. Loved liftoff, transitioned to eternity. Currently using thunder - if that gets abandoned you know who to blame lol
Who?
Me - I feel cursed, whatever app I migrate to just fizzled out
I'm using Eternity daily.
Yeah, writing this from Eternity!
Time to fork
Why fork instead of just contributing?
You are absolutely right and i was wrong to suggest it . Unless of course the dev has abandoned it then forking is the only way.
If i had the time i would but already got a main project study and a side project going.
we indeed are
I really hope development continues at some point. Even the nightly updates have stopped coming.
What happened?
It dangerous to go alone, take this :
Aren't we all ?
If you're looking for another app, Thunder is a great app, and it is actively maintained!

Thanks, it looks interesting. I see that it supports some swipe actions. Does it also support swipe between posts? That is one feature of Eternity which I've struggled to find anywhere else.
The only thing I don't like about it is a lack of an ability to hide the bottom to bar, waaaay too much padding.
Does Thunder handle lemmy links properly? I've stuck with Eternity because it was the first app that handled links correctly for me. Also do any of the other lemmy apps have the same level of theme customisation?

Yes it does.

I haven't really used any other Lemmy apps as extensively as I have used Thunder, but I will say that, in my opinion, Thunder has a lot of customization ability.
Bummer I really liked liftoff before I was forced to switch to eternity... Do I need to switch again? I just want something kinda feels like RIF...
I've tried just about every app available for android, and personally I've settled on Voyager for Lemmy as a potential replacement for Eternity. I did the same migration coming here from Liftoff, but at least for now, we may want to test the waters elsewhere. :(
If you have the means, you may want to consider sending the Eternity dev a donation, to show him that it's worth continuing, as well as in thanks for the many months of joy it has brought us already.
"Look around, Ted. You're all alone"
Eternity is a free and open-source Lemmy client, forked from Infinity for Reddit!
