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

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

Thank you! I'd used that but didn't have prerelease checked. Might have to try that with a few of the other apps that I can't install through Obtainium.

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! ;)

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?

Because of the disclaimer on this page:

DISCLAIMER: I have not thoroughly checked the .apk files available here. As stated above, they are directly taken from the repositories of their resp. developers. Some basic measures are taken, though (see the Security section below). Still, use this repo at your own risk: I will take no responsibility whatsoever for any damages which might occur as result (not saying there will be any, though). Further note the inclusion policy of this repo (see the link above) is slightly less strict than F-Droid’s.

I started typing a very long response explaining my risk model, how a malware on my mobile device will be a nightmare to my whole digital life, etc. Long story short, my case might differ from yours and I consider Izzy's security not enough for me.

I consider myself fairly educated in infosec. Security is layered, no single measure can give you assurance it will not fail.

I suspect Google to perform automated reverse engineering on the Play store apps. F-Droid get the source, not the binaries. Much easier to look for sketchy behaviour if you've got the sources. Yes, Google sometimes get malware on the Play store, but it usually does not stay very long or affects a lot of their users.

Izzy simply does not have the resources to do so, so they use VT as a "replacement", which is not good enough for me; AV solutions have traditionally shitty engines for mobile apps.

Also, Izzy is a much more confidential source for apps. Only a few (if any) security researchers will look at it. Even if someone finds a malware, I strongly doubt it will make news, even in IT security websites. Whereas the Play store or even F-droid...

I don't blame them nor anyone using them, I'm just saying the risk of potential malware on my phone is not worth the benefit of installing bleeding edge apps for me.

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

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?

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.

Great to hear!

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

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)

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

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???

I've used Connect for Lemmy this whole time and haven't had any problems with it. What's the advantage of Eternity?

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

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...

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

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?

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.

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

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.

I tried searching for "eternity" and "eternity lemmy" and didn't show up. After your comment I tried "Eternity for lemmy" and it shows up, weird.

Thanks.
