@lemmy hi. I have tried to install many android apps for Lemmy on an old android phone. And was disappointed they either don’t support older versions or just can’t work connect (flutter based apps).
I thought open source and libre movement cared about the environment and reducing e-waste. Instead it’s bigcorp who makes sure their apps run on potato phones even kaios feature phone.
Anyways a fork of inifity for Lemmy would be awesome
You can’t expect developers to write (especially new) software against old APIs that often are significantly worse and more annoying to develop for. This has nothing to do with “caring about the environment and reducing e-waste” since we’re talking purely about software here. Instead blame phone manufacturers for not designing their phones so that they can be easily updated indefinitely. Install a newer Android version, it’s not an iPhone
