Boost on Android for me as well
Same. I used it for so long on reddit that I jumped as soon as the Lemmy version was available.

I'm using Eternity, I haven't tried more so I can't compare, but I liked Eternity enough to don't have the need to try others.
I like Eternity but i have two problems with it:
~~Cannot upload images from the app~~ So, uh... π€¦ββοΈ
It doesn't format spoilers properly

I already used Infinity for Reddit (which Eternity is based on) so it made the migration from Reddit to Lemmy really smooth for me.

Haven't looked around for a while, but I've settled on Voyager.
https://github.com/aeharding/voyager#readme
Sadly, F-Droid tries to share the actual binary not a link to it via F-Droid (a la Google Play).
I have the reference application, Jeroba, installed but I don't really like it and haven't seen it updated for a while.
Eternity. As lacking in updates it may be, still woks well, and it is super customizable.
Summit, but it's good enough that I haven't tried many others.
Connect for Android was my jam, but now that I'm on Mbin I'm liking Interstellar (which also works with Lemmy).
Connect is the most like the reddit is fun client. How i like to shitpost and see content
Arctic on iOS; prefer it to Voyager, Mlem, and Thunder due to having more customization options.
It also feels more natural. It seems it was actually written in swift. Other apps feel like they were written in some framework, which causes inconsistencies from the rest of iOS.
It's also in constant development. I'm on the TestFlight and contribute via bug reports if I find any. I love seeing the new updates.

Infinity is/was my favorite for Reddit on Android, and Voyager is close enough. Just frilly enough, images/videos embed okay (though need some improvements to saving/downloading), and it just works.
I've had the least issues with voyager, its the fastest and least buggy ive used, but also the least customizable, just works tho which is nice

Eternity
I like how the thunder app shows what update the instances you are logged into are on, lemmy.world is so far behind the others lol
Boost in Android works reliably. I haven't really used anything else.
I have used others and to me nothing else has the right blend of stability, performance, good defaults, and ability to customize. Boost is best on android.
None-- I use the default website through Chrome.
I downloaded thunder and voyager. The cards are way too small on thunder so Iβm using voyager.
You can make them fullsize? They can take up your whole screen if you want in thunder lol

I was a RIF user and therefore Jerboa comes naturally to me.
On desktop, either the vanilla PWA for Lemmy, or alexandrite.app. I Really like alexandrite.
On the phone, I flip between Thunder, Summit, Sync, and Connect. Gotta keep a tab on how they develop, and I like them all, for different reasons.
Edit: my current preferred client on mobile is Thunder. Like you say, it feels like a modern way of browsing Lemmy, it's really good.
Iβm trying out Thunder and it seems great but I canβt figure out how to show the upvote counts. Not sure if itβs a bug or a setting I need to change.
Settings for each individual user, easy to change, goto settings and theres one long menu item that says individual feed settings, then its just toggling show upvotes/downvotes on, some instances had it off by default

Its either there or in the indiviudal post/comment settings, I think I added showing the buttons there since I prefer that to gestures
I use voyager but Iβm gonna try thunder now
I used eternity for a long while, but it is buggy and development is slow (if not dead?). So I switched to the Voyager android app and never looked back.
All Android; Eternity because it's much more "Lemmy like" and is one of the own to actually not sure downvotes on my instance which have them disabled with Boost a very close second because I've loved launching the rocket for years (and unlike SpaceX, my rocket launches don't explode and are actually successful)
Desktop, I love DracuLemmy
I tried both Thunder and Mlem, but I guess Iβm too used to Apollo, and I prefer ~~wefwef~~ Voyager because of that.
It just didn't feel right using a ui ive used for reddit, still felt like I was using reddit (which is what I wanted at first, but now I want it to look different because it feels different)
