How to revert to an earlier version of an app? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've been using Tusky for browsing mastodon for a while and really enjoyed its experience. But then they moved the boost button all the way down to the bottom of the screen and that's just too much traveling for my thumb. What used to be a seamless experience has been dragged out, and enlarged to take up a quarter of the screen.

I tried switching to Husky for a few days but its missing some key functions I like about Tusky, like being able to follow and block hashtags, and change "load more" behavior to open up instead of down. It seems to be more a Plemora thing anyway.

I don't have the skills to fork Tusky, so I'm wondering if there's a way to basically undo an update. How do I get back to an earlier version?

Usually I click on source and go to the git repo and download the apk. Also take care to not update the app automatically until a new release is out.

Ah I see, I use obtainium so usually just copy source link from Fdroid into it without actually going to the repo page. I see now where the past releases are kept. Looks like I just gotta download Tusky 28.0 and ignore updates. Thanks for the help.
