Sync all the way.
Sync
Boost
Memmy (on iOS).
Astoundingly good for solo effort at sub v1.0.
Boost!
I tried many waiting for Sync release on Lemmy, but nothing felt as complete, it's just far and away the best IMHO.

On Android, former Relay for Reddit user.
Right now I have SEVEN lemmy apps on my home screen as I figure out which I like best. So far I keep going back to Sync the most.
Boost's animations suck. It takes too long to show the post list after swiping away an image and the whole screen goes black, it's a bit jarring.
Liftoff works well but it's ugly.
Jerboa isn't very customizable and the post list doesn't feel dense enough.
Voyager literally does not tell you what instance the community you're viewing is on.
I haven't touched Thunder in a while but I see they've updated quite a bit with a lot more customization. I remember older versions being nice, so I'll give it a try again.
Connect is about the same as Liftoff, works well but kinda ugly. Admittedly not as ugly though.
Boost can display new comments in a different color. I don't know how I lived without that feature for so long. Any other apps that can do that?
Last time I used Connect and Voyager (a few weeks ago) they couldn't do that. They were nice otherwise, but Boost seems to do everything they do and more.

Boost is the reason I'm contributing to this community.
Eternity, I came from infinity, so it's the only choice for me
tried Jerboa at first but it was extremely choppy. Now I use Sync and it's smooth af

Eternity. Previously Liftoff.
I tried a couple, but I always go back to just using the web interface through Firefox. It has all the features I need, no extra ads, trackers or permissions, and is pretty comfortable to use. Then again, I don't moderate any communities and I'm not a very prolific poster, so my needs are pretty basic.
It was Memmy for a long time but the developer seems to be on break with development and the app has some irritating bugs.
At the moment using Avelon and it’s really good and still on development.
Eternity
Firefox.
Mlem!
Alexandrite for desktop, bean for iOS and Boost for Android
Connect is the closest to Relay which was my favourite Reddit app. It also doesn't have ads.
Thunder rn. The design is minimalistic and supports Material You. It lacks some major features though.
I'm using Avelon on Ios and I think it's great. I was using Voyager until some months ago.
Jerboa because you can see the number of upvotes and downvotes separately. And it's FOSS.
Boost is still smoother and feels nicer though.
All I can say is that projects were many on iOS during the Reddit API debacle in June and that now, barely any gets updated.
I'm on Summit now, it's quite nice. I've managed to set it up to feel similar enough to RiF.
Eternity, for now.
I've tried a few for ios and landed on Bean.
I recently switched to Eternity and I'm loving it so far. Only been using it a day, but I haven't run into any issues or anything to dislike.
I personally do not want to use any applications that have ads/tracking. I don't believe they have any place on Lemmy. I know already that I'm gonna be downvoted to oblivion, but I understand that these devs need to make money somehow. I just think it goes against the whole freer internet thing. Despite this, I don't really have a problem with them because they are contributing to the growth of Lemmy. And besides it is way better than using a centralised social media platform haha, so it will remain a personal choice.
I like Thunder, which is open-source. The Devs are super nice too.
Connect on phone, voyager on desktop
I tried Jerbora and now stick to Connect, haven't tried boost coz Connect has been great recently
Bean for reading and commenting. It has only one issue and hopefully it will be fixed sooner or later. When someone responds to your comment and you tap to see it, you don't always land on the right spot in the thread. If it's a short thread, you'll be fine, but in a long thread you just can't find where the comment is. In those situations I use Voyager, Thunder or Liftoff. Once Bean fixes that issue, it's going to be the perfect Lemmy client for me.
Thunder. It was the best one out there for me during the early reddit downfall and now that it has everything I need featurewise I love it. Having watched it's devolopment I also feel a little attached to it.
I'm mostly using Firefox with script (for redirecting instances) but every time I want to use an app I go with Combustible, don't know if it's gonna be worked on since not to many ppl use it but it's very smooth
I have been using Connect. It works well
Every now and then a post with a question like this pops up on lemmy and I wonder if the Sync company has anything to do with it, because Sync always gets to be the most mentioned answer. It is beyond me why anyone would use an app that pushes ads on you while browsing content from a website that doesn't have any...
