Hello everyone!

I've finally released Eternity on the google play store. Note that this is not compatible with the existing releases as this build has a different signature.

Thanks for your support and looking forward to your feedback!

Nice work. I'm using obtanium, which I prefer, but that will give it some exposure.

[-] Spezt@lemmy.zeggit.site 12 points 10 months ago

For the one person downvoted. Obtanium is not a Lemmy app, but an updater app. With obtanium you can auto update Eternity :-)

[-] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 10 points 10 months ago

Haha. Two downvotes. Looks like reddit users really are here 😀

[-] a1_15@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

ayo, lemmy going mainstream?? nooooo

[-] Tramdan@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

I can't get Obtainium to download it. What URL do I need to put in Add App?

[-] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 months ago

Try this

https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy

And there's an option for allowing beta or similar? Make sure that is checked.

Can't wait for the F-Droid release!

[-] dubbel@discuss.tchncs.de 47 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Just in case you or another reader isn't aware: Eternity is available in an alternative app repository that can be added to F-Droid in the settings.

https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo?fingerprint=3bf0d6abfeae2f401707b6d966be743bf0eee49c2561b9ba39073711f628937a

This repo, as stated in the description, takes released built by the developers instead of building them directly.

Still looking forward to the official F-Droid release of course :)

[-] gamey@feddit.rocks 12 points 10 months ago

Pro tip, Izzy has a faster update cycle than the official repo so it's a great option for WIP apps even if they are available on both! ;)

[-] selfcleaningtaint 29 points 10 months ago

Eternity is why I joined up to Lemmy. Got so used to Infinity that I was just going to bail on Reddit altogether, this way I can keep up the bad habits 😀

[-] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 20 points 10 months ago

Note that this is not compatible with the existing releases as this build has a different signature.

Back up your settings before uninstalling your old version, then you should be able to import it to the Play Store version!

Settings > Advanced > Backup Settings

Thanks!

I used Liftoff but I missed Infinity since I moved to Lemmy, didn't want to use IzzyOnDroid.

Any plan on a build in the official F-Droid repo?

[-] bazsalanszky@lemmy.toldi.eu 17 points 10 months ago

I'm waiting for a review there as well.

[-] gamey@feddit.rocks 2 points 10 months ago

I would highly suggest Izzys repo for WIP apps, that has a faster release cycle!

[-] sederx@programming.dev 18 points 10 months ago

best client around hands down

[-] Th4tGuyII@kbin.social 16 points 10 months ago

Infinity was my favourite Reddit App, so seeing it ported over to the Fediverse is great!

Apologies if this has already been asked, but do you have any intention of making it compatible with Kbin?

[-] bazsalanszky@lemmy.toldi.eu 31 points 10 months ago

Yes. When the "Lemmy part" is more or less completed, I'm planning on adding Kbin and possibly other fediverse services if I have the time.

[-] Th4tGuyII@kbin.social 6 points 10 months ago

Great to hear!

Fair enough, makes sense with Lemmy being the most active in this part of the Fediverse

[-] Olympus@feddit.uk 5 points 10 months ago

Last I heard Kbin doesn't have an API in place for any apps to use at the moment (Not something I keep an eye on personally, just parroting what I've seen commented previously)

[-] Th4tGuyII@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

Ah, it does have one, though it is in beta (last I heard). If I'm remember correctly, there is an app called Artemis using it already

[-] TheOneCurly@lemmy.theonecurly.page 2 points 10 months ago

I believe the Artemis instance is the only one with the beta API enabled.

[-] Dsklnsadog@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I'm using Lemmy only because you made this app. I hated the desktop interface and all others apps. This is the best without any doubt. Thank you!!!!!!!!

Ps: why is not everyone in lemmy talking and recommending this app???

[-] Fissionami@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

why is not everyone in lemmy talking and recommending this app???

Same question ❓

I can't stop noticing that it looks like a black pig with big orange eyes lol

[-] 7Sea_Sailor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

In fact, I have never even considered that it is NOT something pig-like with orange eyes. Only this here comment made me see the mouse...

[-] raptir@lemdro.id 4 points 10 months ago

I think I only saw it "right" because of the Infinity for Reddit logo.

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 3 points 10 months ago

Thanks, now I see it too.

I'm using it right now with the biggest smile on my face. I didn't know this project existed, and Infinity was my favorite Reddit client.

I can't wait to be active on Lemmy because of this app, thank you!

[-] kosmoz@beehaw.org 6 points 10 months ago

Right? Feels like coming home ☺️

[-] imgonnatrythis@lemm.ee 10 points 10 months ago

Nice to hear about more great apps for Lemmy! I've become pretty entrenched in Connect with block lists, community specific settings etc. It would be a bit of a task to switch. For those familiar with both, I'm curious if anyone could share pros cons from experience?

[-] ollie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 10 months ago

eternity is the goat

[-] 1bluepixel@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Wonderful news. Thanks for your hard work!

[-] user@lemmy.one 6 points 10 months ago

congrats dev/s 👏 well done. using it now.

[-] alex@jlai.lu 6 points 10 months ago

aw yay, congrats!

[-] neurosnail@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Really pleased to see this :)

[-] FlaminGoku@reddthat.com 5 points 10 months ago

Going to try it out because sync keeps crashing on me.

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Hey, I'm not seeing these crashes come through. Any way to reproduce them? Cheers

[-] FlaminGoku@reddthat.com 4 points 10 months ago

4x - tap a link to comment, instantly taken to home screen, no error capture/report.

3x - scrolling down, instant crash to home screen, no error catch/report.

These have happened over the span of 4 hours of use over 3 days. Seems to have started since latest update.

[-] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 10 months ago

Great news!

[-] Xandar437@feddit.nl 4 points 10 months ago

Thank you, loving it so far.

[-] HovringSquidworld97A@beehaw.org 4 points 10 months ago

This is great to see! Definitely makes things easier for ChromeOS installs. Do you plan on periodically merging in changes from Infinity if they're worthwhile? Or upstreaming any of your changes?

[-] bazsalanszky@lemmy.toldi.eu 6 points 10 months ago

Yes! I think there are some features/fixes that could be beneficial for the upstream project as well.

[-] psychic717@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Still can't find it on Play Store on my side, maybe it takes a few hours.

[-] bazsalanszky@lemmy.toldi.eu 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

It should show up if you search for 'Eternity for Lemmy.' Actually, it's been out for a couple of days now. I just wanted to wait until it could be easily found through a search. Yesterday, I was only able to see it using the link. However, it may need some time to show up for everyone.
