    1. Boost has a certain app version. You can install the latest or find some older APK version to install, but older versions will only support a certain range of server versions.
    2. The Lemmy instance you register with and use will be running a particular server version. There is nothing you can do about this, it’s up to the instance admins, but most instances are going to stay relatively up to date because lagging too far behind could cause federation/interoperability issues.

    So even if making a new account on another instance running an older version works, it will only work for some period of time until that instance updates.

    I’m not sure what bug you’re experiencing exactly, but it sounds like it could be either server side or app side. Either way, just sit tight and wait for a fix to be published.

    You can use it for normal applications that aren’t sort of “system components” like a VPN. So if you want to install some office/productivity software, or a web browser, or a music/video player, then a Flatpak would be a reasonable choice. For most of those cases you would probably still choose the RPM if it is available, but Flatpak is also fine if not.
