I can confirm that this works. It's what I did and I'm a lot happier than when I worked a job with an average salary.
Ban me too, you retarded waste of space.
You could also just get the APK file from APK mirror. But after trying the official one (patched mind you) I uninstalled it, it's just too bad. If lemmy needed any advertisment, I'd say that the official Reddit app is doing a pretty good job at it.
