I keep coming back to connect. I find it offers the best feature set currently.

I just moved to Connect and I am really impressed. I was waiting for Boost, but I think I might stay here.

Jerboa. Does everything I need it to.
When Boost for Lemmy comes out however I will most likely transition to there.
Tried jerboa first, then connect, for me connect is way better and reminds me of rif.
Thunder for me
Just waiting for Boost so I can launch the rocket :)
Using Voyager for now because it's the least fussy, in terms of not needing to install anything. The instancr in signed up on, Lemmy.zip, has it installed as their mobile site!
It's getting close.
I've tried them all, and as of right now Connect feels the most polished and feature rich. So that's my recommendation.
Same story here, and Connect seems to be the furthest along.
I'll probably switch to Sync for Lemmy when it makes it's debut, but Connect is almost a good enough replacement.
Just a reminder to folks that there's a list of app over here if you're unfamiliar with any of the ones being mentioned: https://lemdro.id/post/4319

Currently I'm using Connect for Lemmy as it's the closest to what I'm used to. In fact, it seems like the dev is trying to make a clone of Sync lol. But I'm chomping at the bit for the release of Sync for Lemmy

I'm on Jerboa right now but I used Sync before that so once Sync for Lemmy comes out I'm switching back right away

Currently using liftoff and its been great and done everything I want it to do but will be jumping ship the second Sync for lemmy comes out. !syncforlemmy@lemmy.world
Side not, holy shit when you put an "!" the start typing a sub while on desktop it starts to autopopulate then you can pick what you want and it just puts in the formatting. Idk if that is instance specific or something lemmy itself just does but it's awesome.
using connect for now, ill be switching to boost once its available!
Loved Boost for Reddit and realized it was the only reason I actually checked reddit for anything. Super excited to use the Lemmy version, especially since it was killed right after the Material 3 redesign lol.
I've looked at many as an alternative to Jerboa but they all seem to be very similar to each other.
Looking forward to Boost!
I'm using Connect for Lemmy though I am waiting for Sync to release as a Lemmy client. Once that releases I'll probably switch to that.
I'm in the same boat. Sync was my go to Reddit client and will most likely be my go to Lemmy client. For now though I don't mind Connect and it's Canadian so gotta support the fellow Cannuck lol

Connect is by far the most polished but the bar isn't that high unfortunately. I'm waiting for Sync, it was the best Reddit client in my opinion. At least when it came to UX, it was really good. I have high expectations for Sync for Lemmy.
Still just using the PWA, tbh. It's not perfect but I'm overall pretty happy with it. Probably won't move to an app until Sync or Artemis launch.
Voyager, and Liftoff.
I move between Thunder and Connect. Connect added a bottom navigation option that I really like making it the current leader.
I've been using Jerboa for a while now, and it looks like I'm staying for a while on this boat.
I'm waiting for Sync for Lemmy to arrive. I've just been using the website on mobile. It's not that bad!
As a Sync Pro user for years, I suggest giving Connect a shot. The swipe to hide posts was what finally locked me in.
I'm going to jump to Sync as soon as it's available, but Connect is a good holdover.

Recent versions of Jerboa are the best I've tried.
Jerboa has stuck with me the most. Also wefwef. I bounce between those.
I am patiently waiting for Sync though.
connect
I rotate between liftoff, connect, and jerboa. All three are fantastic but I'm growing a preference for liftoff
Liftoff has been pretty great so far. Looking forward to trying Sync though.
Boost was incredible when I was on the previous platform!
I want to try that out. I did use Liftoff, Jerboa and Connect.
May be this will change when Boost comes on the Play Store, but for now, Jerboa has been my go-to.
Coming from Joey For Reddit β Connect is most similar. I'm still very open to new clients as Joey only just stopped working Yesterday.

I'm using the current Thunder nightly. I think it has the best design and does everything I want it to do.
I switch back and forth between Jerboa and Liftoff. Looking forward to see what Sync will bring to the table.

The voyager app is rock solid I'm amazed how it fares against apps. I hope jerboa can keep improving as it is the "official" way of browsing lemmy.
I'm self-hosting an instance of voyager and it's been great so far. The devs are pushing updates so often, sometimes I have to update it twice in a single days.
I'm enjoying connect with AMOLED theme and smaller text and images. It's the most RIF feel I could find.
Liftoff will always be my favourite
Connect. I was going to use boost, but it hasn't arrived, and I've been surprisingly happy with connect.
