eternity would be perfect for me but it unfortunately crashes. shame it hasn't been updated in 5 months

[–] devilish666 22 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

Reddit: What apps?

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

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.

[–] chaosppe 8 points 7 months ago

yo lemming, I heard you like lemmy so we put a lemmy in your lemmy so you can lemmy while you lemmy

Which one is the best in your opinion?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] qaz 4 points 7 months ago

I'm also using Thunder right now

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

Not op, but Voyager is second to none imo

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Jerboa . Its fast small and overall i like its UI just wish the dev would bring back up/down votes numbera tho.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Does it have....uhm ..GIF auto play..?

Edit: yeah but..not for certain websites..

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I see them in the top right corner of a comment.

[–] qaz 1 points 7 months ago

Have you also tried other clients?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I'm more of a desktop user, but I use Raccoon when I'm at work. It's a very nice app :3

Voyager: “don’t be sad Apollo is over; be grateful it happened.”

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)

[–] idunnololz 2 points 7 months ago

Hello! I'm the dev of Summit. The bug you described sounds like a configuration issue. You can customize the font size of almost anything in the app. You might have accidentally shrunk the font size for posts.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Only summit is the closed source one here
