Hey y’all. Since Lemmy 0.18 has been out and sort of breaks Jerboa a bit, I will show off the versions I’ve cobbled together to patch it.
I started this repo to allow older versions of Android to run it (5.0 and up). There’s two release version that may be of interest.
(New June 29) v36-plus made it so that it is now possible to log into both 0.17.x and 0.18
- v35 takes the latest release from dessalines and made it compatible for older devices. Can only login to Lemmy 0.18 servers.
- v34-plus hotfix1 where I patched the crash on startup issue and allow anonymous logins on other servers by leaving the username empty. Can only login to Lemmy 0.17.x servers and below.
I’m hoping these will be helpful for anyone facing issues.
I’ve no plans to do that, people will complain to the devs if a new feature breaks 5.0-7.0 support, I don’t want that. And I’m not sure if they want to continue development on their older versions of the app, but I might get in touch about that.
