It looks like only Jerboa and something called Lemmur are the only two available on F-Droid at the moment?
Jerboa works pretty well for me. I really like wefwef (a web app). Liftoff looks nice to me.
Ultimately a lot of us are eagerly awaiting Sync for Lemmy!
[edit] Having said all of that--I'm really having fun trying any and all of them as they arrive!
I'm using Jerboa for the moment, of the couple I tried is the one that performs the best and it looks good.
I'm waiting for Boost though since I used it for reddit for the entirety of my time there, I'm a loyal user.
Enjoying liftoff so far, only issue is you can't get back to your comments from your profile
Like if you look at your comments on your profile and wish to see them in context of the post they were made on, tapping on the comment will just collapse the 'thread' in your profile page lol. Kinda weird but using the menu to open it in browser gets around it for now. Aside from that, super smooth UI and performance aside from the occasional 502/3 hiccup.
I'm trying out both Connect and Summit atm - the latter I've not seen mentioned at all by others, but feels very comfortable as an ex-Joey user
Using Connect, waiting for Boost (Sample page from Playstore image), and gotta admit, Lemmy is pretty awesome on the web as it is.
Waiting for Sync, if it has 25% of the user experience it had for reddit I'm a happy person
Jerboa should be the recommendation based on what you are looking for.
Open source, saw someone else mention they got it on whatever F-droid is, stable af (0 crashes on pixel5).
Bonuses, it has buttons, looks clean, runs smooth, swiping isn't obsfucating UX/UI as it does expected things like going back. (wefwef is painful if you can't get behind IOS UI chicanery)
Tried thunder. It was easy to use but currently using wefwef. It's not a native app rather webapp. It's following the apple's design ruleset, app looks like a native iOS app, but much better when it comes to performance and stability.
I'm hopping myself but Thunder is quite solid, so far it's the one that I like the most.
No one mentioned Summit yet? I've tried Jerboa, Liftoff, Thunder, Connect, Lemmur.. pretty much all of the available Lemmy client and in the end I uninstalled all of them but Summit.
I've been using connect, I like it more than jerboa at least. But I'm planning on switching to Sync once it's out
