I've tried Jerboa, Connect, Thunder, Liftoff, Lemmotif, and the PWA. Jerboa has the best interface/ux imo, by far. Thunder is the least buggy to use, and the developer is a machine, doing constant updates. These 2 I think have the most potential.

I started with Jerboa but now use Connect. I'm happy with it.
Typing with connect, you can tell it's beta quality but it's pretty good so far

Here’s a sneak peek of one I’m working on too:
A lot of good options coming up, will be fun to see how it plays out!

I just found out about wefwef.app
Same here, completely switched, it’s obviously made by the Apollo dev and no one can convince me otherwise. Wefwef has immediately made Lemmy usable to me, can barely notice a difference from Reddit running through Apollo.

I'm using Connect for Lemmy right now, because Jerboa keeps showing the server version error when opening it.

I use jerboa but I'd try out any libre client. I'm not interested in proprietary apps.
Funny enough I never saw the need for dedicated website apps for e.g. reddit, but the fediverse is somewhat clumsy to use in a browser (I'm aware that browser extensions can help) so an app actually improves the experience a bit.
I'm using Jerboa, but it keeps crashing and on every statup complains that my instance is not compatible with the updated version. This drives me back to reddit and when it shuts off apps, I'll probably go back to real life.

They each have their own bugs and quirks so I hop around, currently on connect and it's been stable enough today. Tomorrow, who knows, maybe back to liftoff or jerboa.

Liftoff, jerboa and thunder currently.
Edit: does anyone know if any android app allows hiding posts? (locally on the device, i think the servers don't support)

I've used the PWA, Jerboa, Liftoff, and Connect.
Jerboa is probably my favorite of the bunch. I prefer how compact everything is and the 0.0.33 version was working well. I upgraded to 0.0.36 and performance took a bit of a hit so I figured I would explore alternatives. Also when I looked at other options 2FA support had not been added (it's working as of this post)
The PWA is more than functional,and I like it quite a bit. Don't like that backing out of a post navigates to the top of the page though.
Connect is good too, just personally not a fan of the larger interface, even in list/compact mode.
Currently using liftoff. Performance is good, 2FA support is available, and in list/compact mode it's tolerable. I still do prefer the compactness of Jerboa though.

Just Jerboa normally.. but it's so buggy that I discovered Connect. It's amazing.

I‘m using wefwef.app as webapp on iOS and as website on Desktop-PC and it reminds me of the Apollo app for reddit.

I'll keep downloading new ones until i find one that feels like home. Still waiting for infinity to make a Lemmy app.

None of them are very complete. The ones that are good are missing features and the ones that are complete aren't good. I'm using wefwef.app for the most part. Just navigate there in your browser and bammo! Instant app.
I was using wefwef, it looks nice but it's slow and has awkward UX. Every time I want to reply or vote, I have to take a second to think about which way to swipe
I think you're into something about not complete or not good - I was hoping to be one of the firsts, but building a solid foundation takes time - I could've gotten something out there a week ago, but I've got big plans - I want to build discovery and sorting into the app, I want to be able to pull from multiple servers at once, and I want users new to Lemmy to have their hands held as they pick a server. And obviously, it has to feel responsive
To do that I had to build a data store and coax high performance libraries to play nice. I was pulling posts and had the account switching working on day 1, but I didn't even start on posting until a couple days ago - and only after I made drafts that would reload when you go back
It's easy to build something rough, fast, or inefficient Building something polished means working on the foundations, building it up, and doing and redoing things as you consider what feels "right"
Give Flemmy a shot in a few days if you're on Android (more like a couple weeks on iphone). It's still early days and there will be bugs and missing features, but, now that the groundwork is solid, it's moving fast

Why do I keep instinctively switching between clients when Lemmy is down thinking one will get past the 500 error better than the other one?
Didn't realize there were so many options that's great! Using Jerboa on Android now and it's been my only experience with the platform so far so I'm definitely open to recommendations

Just 'connect', as it supports 'Amoled black'.
I currently have 6 lemmy apps installed and they all have amoled black, so don't let that hold you back. Connect is pretty good though.
I had been using Jebora but it's buggy enough that it was easier to use the mobile website in chrome. Just tried Connect this morning and it's insanely better, both in UI and stability. Still waiting for the Sync app and holding out hope for a Lemmy is Fun app but that's a long shot.

Jerboa 0.0.37 is awesome. Huge Liftoff user past week :D
I strongly disagree.
0.0.37 is completely unusable for me. It crashes on startup. And the updates before are terrible when it comes to playing with anything but the bleeding edge of lemmy versions. Switching profiles is also shit.

I’m using Mlem, Wefwef, and Memmy. I think Memmy will win out but the other two are pretty nice as well.
Memmy is so good on iOS, the fastest React Native app I’ve used
Jerboa, Liftoff and WefWef right now.
