lemmy.world in a browser (mobile version ofc) with a shortcut. I prefer it over any app at the moment because of the good UI and no missing functionality.

I'm on Jerboa now, but the lemmy mobile website is pretty good. I prefer the mobile website to some of the other apps I've tried
Thunder on Android is a very good experience, and Memmy on iOS are my favorites at the moment - have been for a couple weeks now.
Liftoff, connect was too laggy
I was using Jerboa but I've recently installed Connect and I really like it!
Memmy.
Sync, for free. It's very good but a lot of the features I want are locked behind a big purchase that I just won't make.
Thunder and voyager (it stutters sometimes because it's web based)
Liftoff.
I'm getting accustomed to it already. If Boost takes much longer, it'll be harder to justify switching even to check it out.
Same here, Liftoff is really good! Boost will have to be at least as good for me to switch now ๐
I've tried Liftoff, Connect, and Thunder so far. Thunder is by far the more stable one, and it's pretty convenient too
Summit.
Has basic functionality like marking posts as read after scrolling past them, has a "hide read" option on the FAB button and has a History tab so all hidden posts that you opened will show there. Also, it opens links on custom browser tabs.
I haven't found another app that does all 4. If someone knows please let me know.
Thunder continues to top itself with big updates every week, and now it's officially on the Play Store! If you don't mind downloading apps from GitHub, the semi-nightly pre-releases are quite stable. Upcoming release already has a bunch more fixes and features, so keep an eye on it even if you bounced off initially!
Jerboa for now.
Definitely switching to Boost ASAP, though.
Summit is best now
Like 4 different apps but mainly Voyager power app.
I have been using Connect for Lemmy and it is getting better with each update.
I have registered for Boost for Lemmy but I am skeptial whether I will leave Connect for Boost.
I like the small cards for post view, but I don't like that when you enter inside a post the post still remains as small card.
I'm on Kbin so I use the web app.
Same here.
Thunder and connect
Gonna try sync eventually. But I'm very very happy with liftoff ATM. It's honestly perfect other than the scrolling being a bit janky.
Jerboa then Connect
I'm sending this comment from "Infinity for Lemmy" which is still alpha. Downloaded it here:
https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy/releases
Edit: But I had to edit it from the desktop because, as I said the app is alpha but the dev is working actively on it to add more features. The dev is not the original from "Infinity for Reddit". But since it is open source a new dev picked up the development and started adapting it for Lemmy. 1 day ago it was not possible to add comments, now we can.
I tried jerboa but had too many issues, so I've been using the mobile website while I wait for Boost.
I really like Thunder. The slide actions are awesome - you upvote posts pushing them to the right, reply pushing to the left etc. it's very ergonomic :)
Jerboa since it just works and the Dracula userstyle for the web.
Voyager (formerly Wefwef). I'm still super excited to get Boost back in my life, but I'm so so impressed with just how functional and great feeling the Voyager team have been able to make a PWA.
