U r right. FOSS devs are free to volunteer there time however they like. It is just a shame to see Facebook apps made run on old hardware and the foaa community ignore sustainability.

not all hardware can run overly bloated newer android versions. Especially with the diverse android market. Third world countries can’t afford upgrading every three years.

Redreader runs just as fine on an android 4.1 as on android 12. Hopefully they port it to Lemmy.

@eleitl even #jerboa by @LemmyDev only supports android 8.0 and newer.

@eleitl I would like to be optimistic but most android apps nowadays just don’t support older phones. And the trend is also prominent in the android Foss sphere.

A link aggregator app is quite basic. And shouldn’t require the latest cutting edge tech to deliver a good experience.

RedReader and infinity are the best examples of how open source apps could be made. Light weight . customizable and backward compatible
