Hello everyone!

I’ve just released the first version of Eternity (after changing the name from Infinity for Lemmy). It’s been long overdue, but I wanted to finish a few features before this update. This release includes various fixes and new features, such as:

  • Blocking users/communities

  • List blocked users/communities

  • Separate up/down votes (can be disabled in the settings)

  • Private messages

  • Content reporting

  • New themes (including a new default one!)

  • Fixed various crashes.

And a huge thank you to everyone who provided feedback, translated the app, or contributed in any form during the testing phases of this release. Your insights and suggestions were invaluable in making Eternity better for all users. I’ll continue to gather feedback and make improvements in the coming updates, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with any further thoughts or issues you might encounter. Your support and engagement mean the world to me! Happy browsing!

    If you could add a feature to see and an option to subscribe to all communities from an instance, it would be nice.

    Select any post, see the instance info, view all communities associated with it, subscribe to what you like

    Thanks a lot for the wonderful app.

    When I try to see my profile, the app crashes. Anybody else?

    Edit: It crashes when trying to see any user profile, not just mine.

      Seems to only happen when User Default Sort Type is set to Top in the Sort Type settings. Changing it to New or Old fixed it for me.

      Edit: or make sure you also set a User Default Sort Time if you’re going to be using Top.

      Hmm… It works on my end. Is this a new issue in this update?

      It would help me out a lot, if you could share the crash stacktrace? You can find it under the Settings > Advanced > Crash report option. This sounds like a critical bug.

        Just sent it to codeberg issue #153.

        I think its a new issue, because I have been using the nightly version and its working has expected there.

    Thanks a lot for this! This release makes it on par/better than jerboa! And has spell check!

    I have nothing but gratitude for the team since I was browsing reddit for years(the platform always made me want to switch because of the shitty app) but infinity saved it. I was dailying a very old phone with an android 11 rom(bacon) which shat itself in terms of battery and heat when running the reddit app

    I have been missing it a lot for the past few months and I recently tried infinity for lemmy(it was around .6 release I think or in between .6 and .8)

    I think I’ll keep using eternity, for eternity :P

    The update is great! But I have one small issue. I use the compact display mode and it used to display the community/instance and the username of the OP on the post. The new update changed something and now it does not display the username on posts.

      Another issue I’ve run into with this update: I can’t click “load more comments”. Every time I do, the app crashes. I’ve tried clearing the cache and restarting my phone. No luck, same issue.

    Just tried the new update and it seems to have fixed a lot of issues in the app, but now I can’t seem to import new themes into the app anymore, it just says unable to parse theme.

    It’s pretty great, but what was the original theme? I preferred it.

    Edit: I think it’s carbonfox, although it’s not quite the same as it used to be.

    It is actually Indigo, it seems

    And separation of upvote and downvote can be toggled in settings under Interface -> Post

    Is it possible to bring back the random community function again? That was the main appeal of the old infinity for me.
