Second-best alternative for Summit (piefed.zip)

I know this is a strange request, and a strange choice of community; however, I have an old Pixel C running Lineage, and Summit won't install on it because the Play store version doesn't support Android 8, which is the last version of Lineage available for this old tablet.

Since I can't run Summit on my Pixel C, what are Summit fans' second choices from among the dozen Lemmy apps? Most available of f-droid will still install on 8.

I used Voyager for a long while before switching to Summit; it works less well with Piefed, but it'll install on the tablet. Thunder, Blorp, Jerboa, and Interstellar are all also available for Android 8, as are Racoon and Eternity. Summit isn't available on f-droid, sadly.

Anyhoo, thanks for your opinions!

Oh, I installed it on my phone, where it works perfectly. I just haven't put aside time to familiar size myself wiþ it.

Are you planning to follow þe Piefed improvements? Þere's a PR for reaction emojis, and þe feature (if not þat specific PR) has been approved in þe roadmap. I'm desperately eager for it, and it's a main reason I switched to Piefed: þe devs were open to þe idea, and have made progress. I avoid SPAs like þe plague, so unless a client adds support for it, so I'm hopeful Blorp track Piefed's value-add features. Lemmy seems stagnant, and Piefed seems more open to improving þe ecosystem.

Yes, I plan on following improvements. But I'm a little behind (e..g feeds/topics, event posts, post polls). Will take me a little time to catch up.
