Using Liftoff right now. Jerboa was also pretty functional. Thunder seemed promising but buggy. Lemmur is abandoned and got forked for Liftoff.
I'm also using Liftoff and the experience has been quite good so far
Connect for Lemmy works well for me.
I'm also using connect. I find the searching for communities to be terrible and a couple of other issues, but the bread and butter of reading posts, comments, commenting is very comfortable. I'd recommend it too right now.
Comfortable is the best way to describe it. I think it's very similar in function and design to sync, which makes it very easy to use while waiting for Sync for Lemmy
Honestly, using https://wefwef.app as a web app is hard to beat right now. It works very smoothly, and I finally understand why all the iOS users mourn the loss of Apollo so hard. Granted, using an iOS-esque interface on an Android device is a bit odd, but the gestures and the layout are just chef's kiss.
The biggest issue with it is that it's getting hammered on the primary domain, so I'll probably move to self-host it sooner than later.
Using liftoff until sync is out
Part of me feels bad for all of the homegrown Lemmy apps. They won't compare to the reconfigured Reddit apps.
Not entirely true, while I'm a huge fan of Boost and Sync, I'd say that the more options the better.
Different apps for different tastes, just need to remember when Sync made a huge overhaul of the interface, I love the new one, while others couldn't stand it. So LJ made an option to restore the old look of the app.
Connect, it seems fairly well made, has some swipe actions that let you vote up/down and save. Lets you switch between instances fairly easily. It's still getting updated too so it seems like its only getting better.
I was an avid user of Relay, and unfortunately I haven't found anything that mirrors its layout and functionality, so I decided to build it myself. Here's the Github repo and a short recording of the UI which is already out of date. I'll be releasing it once the permissive CORS PR gets merged and lands in major servers.
Boost for Lemmy will be out soon, just using the website/not using anything until then. Boost was the best Reddit app by far. And yeah, like others said, Sync is coming too.
Jerboa is pretty good. Probably the smoothest I've tried. Liftoff is pretty good as well.
I'm waiting for Sync to come out for Lemmy and I'll jump back on that.
Using Jerboa and waiting for sync for Lemmy to come out.
Connect for Lemmy is my go to. The dev just released an update too with a ton more features. It's working great and I like it more than WefWef.

Jerboa's been working pretty good lately.
Boost when it gets available. In the meantime, Jerboa.
That's a weird way to spell "Sync"๐
Jerboa is by far the most feature-rich and least glitchy that I have used.
Jerboa is the best I've used so far, though hopefully Boost will be even better when that's released!
Boost for Reddit was an absolute top tier application.
Liftoff so far has been the only one that let me log in and also works consistently. I haven't tried connect but I can vouch for liftoff at least. I'll probably be trying sync for lemmy whenever it comes out though since I loved sync for reddit.
Just started using Connect and it's great! I moved from RiF and it's pretty similar. My one request is a way to easily switch to the next/previous parent comment like you can do in RiF
Jerboa has gotten pretty stable since the exodus, I also have Thunder and Liftoff installed, but mostly switching between Jerboa and Thunder.
I like those two last ones because they kinda have a Sync feeling to them, will definitely buy Sync once it's ready!
I'm currently on Jerboa but I'm going to switch to boost as soon as it's available
Thank you everybody! I ended up getting Jerboa, since it's available on F-Droid. It seems to work pretty well. I'll be trying all your other suggestions out as well.
I tried only Jerboa and Liftoff. Liftoff has a customizable UI, all the features I need, and tells when a post or comment was made (unlike Jerboa).
Enjoying Liftoff as of now. eagerly awaiting Sync for Lemmy
Liftoff for me, patiently waiting for Boost to be released since it was my main client for Reddit.
I'm new to Lemmy, but so far the client that I liked the most is wefwef.app which i am using right now
It's not really an app, but a web-app, but it still works
(Sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker)
As someone who has 6 lemmy apps installed, and constantly cycling between them, I'd say for now connect and liftoff are the best although each has issues that the other migitates. I'd say you won't go wrong with either option, with it mostly being personal preference.
As a former user of infinity for reddit connect feels a bit closer layout to what I was used to, but liftoff seems to have a slightly better ui.
Thunder and Jerboa are the best so far. Both have had updates in the past few days that have polished things.
Jerboa is my favorite right now, but I'll be buying Sync as soon as it's available.
Connect has been working well!
Connect for lemmy has gotten better now that i can hide posts without interacting with them.
Liftoff works best for me. Looks good, feels good. Tried a few and it just snapped.
Jerboa since yesterday had been super smooth and error free for me. I prefer it to connect but they look similar
I am having hard time picking one.
I think I am gonna stick with Liftoff; the UI is good and it also has all the features you need for a social network.
Lastly, the developers are working like crazy.
