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!

What if you install directly from Github and manage it with Obtanium? That's what I do.

Blorp dev here. If you try Blorp, let me know if there is anything I can help with.

Þanks! Blorp installed, but all I ever got was a blank white screen. It's probably some weird Android 8 issue.

:( yeah not sure. My testing device (Google Pixel 6a) is running Android 16

Could you possible attach a screenshot? I think I know what you mean, but some people say “blank” when the screen isn’t completely blank. Sometimes when debugging a picture is more helpful than words

Eternity is good. Seems dead tho. Btw it seems like there are newer versions available. Unofficial tho
