Summit is the best option I've found, to replace RIF that I used to use back when I was using reddit.

Ouch, so sad only one mention of Summit. I was on Boost for Reddit, and then Liftoff here until that died. Boost development was going slow it felt like, and I just didn't feel the workflow was what I got used to posting to Lemmy.
Summit felt great to me, has a ton of great features, and the dev is super responsive and has incorporated many of my requests and has fixed bugs I've reported very quickly. I love me some Summit for sure and I don't know why it's gone relatively unnoticed.
In the beginning, it was a mix of LiftOff! and Jerboa. The dev of LiftOff! had twins and understandably, he hasn't returned and the app has fallen to the wayside.
So I tried Thunder (available on Android and iOS) and it's been really good, lots of regular updates and features as well.
Thunder. It feels most similar to what I used back when I was still using Reddit.
I haven't really played around with anything else since Sync for Lemmy was released, because I'm perfectly happy with it.
Still using Sync and Voyager. Voyager so similar to Apollo and Sync also solid as their Reddit client.
iOS: Mlem
I'm on Boost after trying a lot of them. On my backup phone there's Raccoon
Saw Boost mentioned already, but also I think Tesseract deserves a shoutout for clean and modern web experience.
I've been using Jerboa, but tempted to swap to Voyager.
Love Thunder. It looks great and works great.
I've also been using Alexandrite on desktop since my server admins have it set up and prefer it over the default ui
I just use the default website in Firefox for Android.
There are dozens of us!
Eternity was my favourite and I still use it sometimes, but now I'm mostly using boost.
Currently enjoying Arctic and Voyager. Arctic has potential to be my final app of choice.
I hop around periodically through iOS options, Iโm using 2 main ones right now: Arctic and Avelon
I think Arctic is the best
The website ๐
Summit is the best app I've tried, with Boost a close second. It's got tons of features and is updated frequently.
Boost!
There is no equivalent.
Like others I used Liftoff but had to move on when API broke it & dev is getting on with real life stuff.
Moved to Voyager. It's good but as an android I still find it a bit strange using what looks like iOS interface. I still get a bit lost when uploading a post & usually have to edit it a few times. No biggie, maybe I should post more & get used it it ๐
I still miss the Joey app from the other place.
I used to use that other site with Infinity, which was Infinity for Lemmy first, but over time, became Eternity, so that's what I've been using.

I've had the best experience with Summit. Went through quite a few before stopping here.
None of the *bin apps I've tried seem to really function well just yet, so I mostly just use the default PWA for the Mbin instance I'm on. It works well enough. Though I'd really love a standalone app, especially if it could handle loading URLs to other instances clicked from outside the app; being taken to a community I'm already subscribed to but not being able to vote or comment because the link I clicked went to the original instance instead of the one I'm logged into is annoying.
I tried a lot of them when the reddit exodus was new I settled on voyager and alexandrite. Voyager has a great app (which is just the web page converted to an app) alexandrite doesn't have an app but it's has the best experience for me.
Been using Lemmynade (!lemmynade@lemm.ee) and am super happy with it. My instance also has a really nice looking frontend that works as a PWA as well.
I used Jerboa and then Eternity, now I use Voyager which I think is very good and stable. I've never tried Thunder.
