As the title says, I'm looking for some potential mods to help run this community.

If you are interested, then drop a comment to this post explaining why you believe that you would be a good fit for mod.

I wanted to bring to your attention a feature from Voyager for Lemmy that could potentially be a valuable addition to Eternity.

Voyager has a "Migrate Subreddits" tool designed SPECIFICALLY for Reddit users transitioning to Lemmy.

This tool streamlines the migration process by helping users easily find communities on Lemmy that are similar to the subreddits they've subscribed to on Reddit.

The process in Voyager is straightforward:

1. Users log into their Reddit account and access their subscription list via the "multireddit of your subscriptions" link available in the sidebar.
2. They copy the link and paste it into Voyager, allowing the tool to automatically search for corresponding communities on Lemmy.

This feature SIGNIFICANTLY lowers the friction for users migrating to a new platform by minimizing the effort required to find and rebuild their communities.

Has Eternity ever considered incorporating a similar "Migrate Communities" feature?

It could be an excellent addition to assist new users transitioning from Reddit, making it easier for them to rediscover and reconnect with the communities they care about most.

Such a feature could also enhance Eternity's onboarding process and attract a growing audience of users exploring alternative platforms.

If this is something Eternity could implement, it might be worth exploring further.

As an Android user, I have been enjoying Summit via the Play Store, and have also explored the GitHub APK option.

However, I was curious if Summit has ever considered the potential possibility of expanding Summit to the iOS platform?

This would likely appeal to a broader audience and open up more opportunities for users across different ecosystems.

Currently, Summit is well-represented on the Android side, and considering iOS compatibility could enhance its reach and user base SIGNIFICANTLY.

I personally believe that this would be a strategic move to grow Summit's presence in the mobile app market.

Description:

When users on Summit tap on a post with an image on their mobile devices, it would significantly enhance the user experience if they could swipe upwards to directly navigate to the comments section of that post. This interaction would be similar to how Reddit handles navigation for image posts.

Benefits:

1. Streamlined Navigation: Users can quickly move from viewing the image to reading and engaging with comments, creating a more fluid and interactive experience.
2. User-Friendly Interface: This feature aligns with intuitive swipe gestures that are common in mobile apps, making Summit more accessible and user-friendly.
3. Enhanced Engagement: By simplifying the path to comments, this feature encourages more users to participate in discussions, thereby fostering a more vibrant community.

Implementation Details:

• Swipe Gesture: When a user is viewing an image post on mobile and swipes upwards, the app should transition smoothly to the comments section of the post.
• Visual Cue: Optionally, a subtle visual cue (e.g., a small upward arrow at the bottom of the screen) could be added to indicate this swipe action.
• Animation: The transition should be smooth and visually pleasing, minimizing any abrupt changes.

Impact on Existing Features:

This feature would complement existing navigation and post interaction methods without altering them, ensuring consistency across the app’s interface.

By incorporating this feature, Summit can improve its usability and create a more engaging experience for its users, aligning with the intuitive expectations set by other popular social media platforms.

I was curious, has idunnololz ever considered potentially bringing in volunteers to help contribute to Summit's code or assist with other tasks?

idunnololz could potentially put out a “call for volunteers” on platforms like Lemmy, Reddit, or other relevant platforms/communities, with a focus on people who are passionate about what Summit is doing.

Benefits:

• Reduced burden on idunnololz: By involving more developers, the primary workload wouldn't fall solely on one person.

• Diverse skill sets: Volunteers might bring specialized skills that could benefit specific areas of the app.

• Community engagement: This initiative would foster a stronger connection between Summit and its user base.

• Faster development: More hands on deck could potentially speed up feature implementation and bug fixes.

While you may not be in a position to offer monetary compensation, these volunteers could benefit in other ways:

• Gaining valuable coding experience by contributing to a live project.
• Earning recognition or "special contributor" status within the app or community.
• Access to exclusive features or perks as a form of gratitude for their contributions.
• Exclusive beta access to new features
• Potential for future paid opportunities as the project grows
• Credit in the app's "About" section
• Certificates of contribution for their portfolios

This could potentially foster a stronger community around Summit and help it grow even faster by leveraging the skills and knowledge of passionate supporters.

Of course, there will likely need to be some structure (e.g., guidance, pull request reviews, clear documentation) to make this work smoothly, but it might be a worthwhile avenue to explore.

Female dress code is extremely strict to the point you have to literally cover yourself from head to toe, loose clothing, not allowed to be beautiful except for your husband, like you are some kind of clown who does a special performance for a vip, like you are his personal property. To get to the point of the title, men on the other hand don't have all these oppressive rules. I am tired of the sugar coating.

Navel till knee IS NOT MODESTY. They are not required to cover fully, let alone the head, but their body. This rule is half naked. This is one step before showing your genitals, how is that modesty? So men wearing shorts to cover the bare minimum, the standard through the whole world, their penis, is now modesty?

I am so tired of pretending like the men in the rest of the world are walking down the streets, go to to work and socializing with their penis out, but islam made the amazing change for men to wear clothes to cover at least their penis. Are we supposed to be thankful? Wearing clothes is the basic standard, but muslim men wearing clothes is modesty? But a woman is damned if she wears a belt in her modest clothing?

The only difference men and women have is genitalia and breast, which means both have arms, legs, face and hair. Why is my existence as a woman a sin so I have to cover my whole personality, but he can walk around barely naked? Why doesn't he cover his whole body? Why is that not a requirement just like it's for a woman?

Why should I see his masculine figure, what if a gay man sees him? Oh yeah they never thought about that.

Besides that, no one in the muslim community truly gives a damn even if men wear shorts shorter than their knees, but a woman is being damned for the slightest thing.

Last but not least: purity culture is rape culture.

The rest of the world has a hard time relating to us because our communities have an optics and aesthetics problem.

Muslims have completely abandoned any sense of aesthetics and that is, in my opinion, the main reason it is so hard for the rest of the world to take a stance in our favor and see us as their equal. It is obvious to me that muslim societies have almost unanimously given up on beauty.

For the life of me I will never understand why to this day, in western countries, we still see muslim men with scrawny unwashed faces, untrimmed beards, a qamis so long it's practically wiping the floor, and a dirty pair of airmax walking around in a society where everyone is groomed, shaved, smiling and well dressed.

I will never understand why so many (not all! But many) mosques smell like feet and sweat the second you enter, and why it is so hard for people to regularly wash and scrub those carpets.

I will never understand why women complain about strangers avoiding them and systemic racism when they decide to go for fully covering dark jilbabs in the hopes of hiding themselevs when it does nothing but make them stand out so much because the contrast with other women is just blarant.

There is no other religious community which has decided to behave like this and make their life 10x harder than it should be. If we were to abide by quranic rules, it is clear and unequivocal that none of this has ever been asked to them.

You can dress modestly and not look like you just came out of a cave.

You can avoid the male gaze without LITERALLY blocking the gaze, because that in facts does the complete opposite, you live among people who perceive a fully covering veil as a threat.

You can adapt to your surroundings and the people among whom you live otherwise islam could not be the universal religion it aspires to be, all you do is actively push people away, create a barrier between them and islam, how on earth could one join the religion or even just treat you with respect?

The way you present yourself is the single most important factor in spreading islam, be righteous, good looking, clean, groomed and succesful, and people will look up to you and equate your behavior and appearance to the teachings of islam, but dont expect to be accepted into a society which you actively try to NOT fit in!

It's just madness.

I'm not asking people to uncover their hair or show their awra, but I think there is a balance that can be found?

I worked in Japan for 6 months and I was shocked to see how well malaysian and indonesian muslim women could seamlessly blend into a non muslim society like Japan, they dress modestly, but are still fashionable and follow japanese dress codes (which I admit are already very modest which does make things wasier for them).

It was a striking difference, coming back to Europe and taking the subway, I just feel pity for the women in niqabs, Im aorry sister but it just looks ridiculous, you are trying to hide yourself, but in a sea of women in jeans and loose hair we in fact can only perceive you out of everyone, which completely defeats the purpose.

You can tell everyone is awkward around you. Why do you inflict that upon yourself?

Not engaging in arts, giving up on music because of some salafi interpretations, giving up in the sciences and technology are big mistakes which led muslim societies to destroy their civilization culturally, if we were to summon and bring back to life al andalus or baghdad muslims from 5~10 centuries ago, they would be horrified to see what the muslims have become, we used to seek arts, sciences and beauty, today we consider that to be borderline sinful to do ANYTHING but preach and actively detaching ourselves from weatern societies, which we actively actively push back from yet refuse to actually leave.
