The official reddit app is not even supported on my device. - Lemmy.world

Well i am certainly not using reddit on my tablet anymore.

Well, the official Lemmy App requires Android 8+. Again, no support for my not so old phone…
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…
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.
