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

Yeah, writing this from Eternity!

we indeed are

I really hope development continues at some point. Even the nightly updates have stopped coming.

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.

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...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.
