Well i am certainly not using reddit on my tablet anymore.
You're viewing a single thread.
Well, the official Lemmy App also requires Android 8+. Again, no support for my not so old phone...
Is there an official app for Lemmy? Jerboa is popular, but I don't think it's official. Connect for Lemmy supports Android 4.4+.
I was speaking about Jerboa.
Don't think that's official. It was just one of the only ones about when people started migrating.
Yes, but Lemmy block unofficial apps that may support your phone.
did you look if there is lineageOS or another custom ROM, who is based on a newer android?
Not so old? Android 8 was released 5 years ago
Might be old in modern times, but I dont want to have to buy a new phone every 5 years. Especially if it is still working very well...
Also OP made the point that the official Reddit App requires Android 8+, so it's the same thing
Android 8 came out 6 years ago. And if your device is locked to Android 8 that means it probably shipped with 6 or 7 which means it's a 7 or 8 year old phone at this point. I have trouble believing a 6-8 year old android phone is still working very well.
You are right, it is from 2017. Beside not being able to use Android 8+ I have no issues with it
Not to rag on you, but do consider security risks associated with using an unsupported OS. Take care.
