I've tested many, but I always end up coming back to Jerboa.
At the moment I'm just using the website, added to my home screen from the firefox app. It formats just fine on mobile, and it has all the features.
Started with Jerboa but started having issues with it. Now trying Liftoff and will probably give Connect a try also.
Wefwef looks really simple slick and Apollo like. Those are win for me.
jerboa most of the time : it's quite light (3,2Mo), it's on fdroid, it's pretty useable. But it's crashing a lot thèse days
I am using liftoff and wefwef
Kbin so currently just using hermit to make the web app until Artemis comes out
Memmy on iOS is my favourite.
I'm not using lemmy but kbin. I'm just using the app shortcut that you can create in Chrome on Android. It works well enough for now
Only used connect so far so can't comment on the others. Feels nice and smooth, looks great and has some nice features. Liftoff seems to be the go to here, might check it out.
Liftoff, for the moment. But I think that there is still room for a lot of improvement. It is completely normal, this is still growing ^^
started with connect for lemmy. which is visually very clean but it neither has an edit comment function nor a block user function yet. lemming has both functions but loks a lot more clunky.
Connect is improving crazy-fast.
Blocking users has already been added. I'm sure comment editing will show up any day now.
Thunder is pretty gorgeous with some issues.
Thunder for me
If Sync for Lemmy releases with half of the features and polish of the Reddit version, it's going to default to be the app of choice.
Connect and liftoff
Connect and Thunder seem to work best for me. I'm on .world so Jerboa isn't an option at the moment

I use Liftoff it's clean app for Lemmy.
I'm using wefwef. Its very uhh Apollo inspired.
I'm using Liftoff.
Using Jerboa right now, but to be frank: I haven't tried any other apps, because I am actually waiting for Slide, so whenever that launches I'll switch.
I'm on kbin, so i guess i get no app until artemis is out :(
Newbie here. Just installed Jerboa and two minutes later it shows "Network error". Installed Wefwef and it's ok. Taking notes to try the other ones.
Still learning about Lemmy and the communities to have an accurate opinion.
Thunder and jerboa
Still on my phone browser. So far not seeing any downside to it compared to PC browsing, so I think this will be fine.
I'm using Lemmy as an android pwa. Works well. I liked Jerboa but it was too buggy.
I was using Jerboa. But after a lot of bugs in last few versions I currently trying other apps.
Currently alternating between Connect and Wefwef
Jerboa won't even load for me. It just crashes and force quits.
Personally, I use Jerboa on mobile. It's got its own problems and compatibility issues, but they're also not so significant that it makes me want to go use another app, and with lemmy.world still being on an older version that probably isn't compatible with most apps that work for 0.18 and above, the risk of breaking everything makes it not that worthwhile.
