Yup it's shame eternity hasn't been got update for loooooong time
Honestly eternity has best features compared to other lemmy apps & the most customizable lemmy app out there
I hope the dev will update the app soon
It does have a nightly version for those that want to try out the newer features, they have been working on it, it just hasn't had a major release yet.
Its by far my favourite too (bcs of the just extract customisations I want - same with Infinity). Voyager might get close on visuals, but I prefer the ease/speed of use Eternity offers me.
However I never experienced crashes at all (not even with the early versions & Im using it since day 1/first apk built).
My only (and persistent) bug is related to various or possibly all sorting (posts, comments, inbox, etc), which works fine, but eg notifications in inbox don't take me to the exact post (or nowhere at all).
But I fund an ez fix - just backup your settings (in-app functionality), reset some or all settings in the app (via the app), and then restore settings (it restores everything, no additional fiddling). The whole manoeuvre takes less than a minute. Im my case resetting only sorting (not all settings) works most times.
my install just dies when when opening some posts, haven't pinned down why yet but i imagine it's some new feature it just doesn't know how to render. it also doesn't seem to support scaled sorting which is a shame
You're not alone
Indeed.
hewwo cool guy who added my feature request !!
No Connect?
It is always left out from the Lemmy app party :(
Other people are just jealous that we've had the best app with the best features for longer than them
(Seriously I swapped to connect from Jerboa and Boost really shortly after the reddit migration and haven't looked back)
I tried just about a dozen apps that were around at the time Connect launched and Connect was the best by far, and the dev was updating almost daily while actively listening to feature requests.
Reddit: What apps?
I miss liftoff.
It was great. I moved to Thunder though and actually like it a bit more.
Liftoff didn't keep track of (or at least indicate) opened posts which irked me. Thunder has that with the same general scrolling feel.
Me too :(
I moved to Raccoon which I'm hopeful will eventually have all my fave features from other apps but we'll see.

Jerboa just feels so right. It makes my neckbeard sing through the FOSS Hills.
Rip liftoff
Can I haz all the apps
racoon eternity combustible jerboa muffed redirect thunder voyager liftoff summit - all da foss android apps meow :3
Which is the one with the snake logo?
yo lemming, I heard you like lemmy so we put a lemmy in your lemmy so you can lemmy while you lemmy
Voyager and thunder only(⌐■_■)
Same here. Also Avelon
Which one is the best in your opinion?
Not op, but Voyager is second to none imo
Jerboa . Its fast small and overall i like its UI just wish the dev would bring back up/down votes numbera tho.
Does it have....uhm ..GIF auto play..?
Edit: yeah but..not for certain websites..
I think they will be coming eventually as a user configuration setting from the backend itself. I'm still on v.60 because I don't like the percentages.
I see them in the top right corner of a comment.
Have you also tried other clients?
On Thunder, no complaints. The only other one I've used is liftoff so I can't give you a good comparison. All I can say is Thunder checks all the boxes I'm looking for.
I'm also using Thunder right now
i use racoon :3
I'm more of a desktop user, but I use Raccoon when I'm at work. It's a very nice app :3
List of Reddit apps:
The official Reddit app
i use thunder sometimes still
Idk, eternity, idk, jerboa, idk, idk, thunder, voyager, idk (boost maybe?), summit
Sorry to ask but where's sync? I know it's closed source but it's the most comfortable Lemmy client (I tried thunder but it felt a bit clunky with how the menus are designed) that also doesn't bug out like summit (for some reason when I open a post the title and the text above it gets shrunk to the smallest height possible and it's not readable at all)
Voyager: “don’t be sad Apollo is over; be grateful it happened.”
Only summit is the closed source one here
I was a faithful user of boost before I became a reddit refugee. I'm glad it was adapted to work with Lemmy.
