after trying a few, Eternity was the first one that worked without errors on my older Android phone. i enjoyed using Infinity previously and i'm glad it was repurposed

Just an interesting note, I see a lot of talk about Avalon in the comments being amazing but not as many votes as other clients. It seems pretty new, but already has a loyal userbase. Wish it was on Android so I could check it out!
Iβm glad to see Voyager so high. I was hooked on Memmy for a while, even though I had been trying wefwef and a few other interfaces occasionally. But now the app version of Voyager is just about perfect for me.
As far as I'm concerned, on an AOSP device, a good client should be available in the F-Droid repository.
Jerboa is on Fdroid, but it's not good I'm afraid. The keyboard bug is maddening.

Artemis doesn't let you sign in with different instances but as soon as it does I'll start using it more.

Have tried out quite a few of the apps (was stuck the longest with Voyager, it's awesome) - but I tend to come back to Jerboa ever so often - may be because it is the oldest Android client for Lemmy, so probably the most tried and tested.
I kinda like the vintage look of Jerboa (and the cool icon) - so as soon as Jerboa gets its search feature enhanced (right now it just searches for communities, not posts or comments - but I hear that work is in progress) - Jerboa will become the best Lemmy app out there, at least for me.
Yβall on iOS need to check out Bean.
Pretty happy with voyager, it's a pretty solid choice despite being styled entirely for iOS. I'll probably look into a more Android designed / focused app going forward.

Yo who keeps adding stuff in other when there are already existing main categories with that name?
I mostly use Jerboa, and then a bit of Liftoff, I have installed Sync, Connect and Infinity just to have plenty options at hand.
I just tried Sync again and can see why people like it, with that polished fancy look.
But prefer Jerboas larger font and don't mind having vote/reply buttons at every comment.

Firefox currently. I have only used the browser, but highly considering building a client for Android.

Is anything similar Apollo? I'm on Android, but if there was one app that made me miss the few months I spent with a borrowed iPhone... It's Apollo.
There is!!! Itβs called Voyager and I believe itβs on Android as well, if not then you can use the web-app -> https://vger.app/
