I'm currently using Mlem on my iPhone. It recently got updated to version 2.0 and this made it a much better experience than before. Plus it's a native app which I personally like.

Summit. I love the screenshot feature. I can pick content and share to my WA stories
Web App on iPhone.
Tried Voyager and Jerboa. I prefer Voyager slightly over Jerboa
I like Jerboa, mainly because it doesn't have ads.
Booth has been good so far
I love from Sync to Voyager and I'm quite happy with it.
I'm pretty happy with Voyager. It's not perfect but it's good
Apollo, er, Voyager.
Voyager has been pretty decent for me.
It’s made the migration from Reddit as smooth as butter. It’s like I never left.
Boost
Voyager
Eternity.
My favorite feature is the support of multi-communites.
This is actually my favorite too! I downloaded like 5-6 different ones a few months ago and tried them all and played with the settings to see which I liked the layout of best. This one was my favorite.
Thunder by all means
Currently I use Boost for Lemmy, I even buyed it to support it. Sadly there was no update since last july 😐
Has it needed an update? He was really good with the Reddit app. If there isn't an active problem with the app tho, it may not need updated. It's what I use, and I haven't had any issues with it
Edit: just to get onto my parent comment, he is working on an update for 0.19.9 features, posted 2 days ago. It seems there may have been some departure from regular updates, so hard to defend that, but seems like he's back on it?
Community and info @ !boostforlemmy@lemmy.world
Spoilers aren't working.
Ooo I had seen that, but I rarely use the website so I just assumed it was an issue with markdown in general. He was fairly responsive in the reddit for the app, I wonder if there is one here that he responds to?
He has been posting comments about updating the app in the last couple of days. I really liked it and would probably give it another try, but having working spoiler tags is really neat and the main reason I switched.
I think if you're gonna charge people fees then it should be regularly maintained. Big reason I'm done with sync.
I'm locked in to Jerboa. Not the most robust, and it doesn't show me notifications for mentions or DMs, but it has the perfect layout and aesthetic I want after a decade of using RIF.
I was using Liftoff before it depreciated to the point of non-functionality.
Thunder is my favourite. It's an android app and I got it from F-Droid (Izzy on Droids Repo). Clean and customizable interface, convenient features like for example multi account support. I would recommend it!
Connect is the best in Android
I started with it and like it. Never thought to compare other options. Too busy trying to find a browser and search engine I like
Summit is peak Lemmy!
Awesome app, awesomer dev. If it doesn't do what you want, talk to them and they'll probably do it.
Not FOSS, but free and no ads.
Would not be enjoying Lemmy near as much without it thanks to all the great features like multi-community support and endless customization.
I've been using boost since that's what I used for reddit. Just not been vibing with the lemmy version as much for some reason.
Decided to give summit a go after reading some comments here, and while I've only had the app for an hour or two I'm really happy with it so far
I'm glad that was helpful!
It looked great and I really wanted to stick with the dev on it once they originally announced they were going to make a Lemmy version, but even after a couple months going between it and some other apps, while it looked much the same as Boost for Reddit, it just didn't feel the same.
Summit holds practically the same quality as Sync for Reddit had... If not more at this point.
And yeah, the dev is great and very communicative, he must love his own project to be so active regarding it, and it makes sense I have tried the app since its conception and it has greatly improved.
I don't want to bash other Lemmy clients.... But I have tried nearly all of them and Summit always speaks "smoother" for me.
I switched from Sync to Summit when I finally gave up on the sync dev ever doing anything more. Summit has frequent updates and fills the same spot for me as Sync, which is important to me as I used sync with reddit for a long time.
Yeah, it is not Sync, but it is just as good, and we can work with the dev to make it even better than what Sync was!
I'm on an iPhone and using voyager at the moment but not really a fan. Maybe I just haven't learned how to use it. Any suggestions?
Turn on compact posts and it feels like Apollo
Spend a few minutes adjusting the view, setting the theme and then it is swipe for everything. Super easy.
Always thumbnail view for me, I couldn't imagine anything else.
I bounce between Voyager and Arctic. On iOS. Voyager on Android.
I was using Boost but noticed some missing features, so I switched to Raccoon. I like it so far
jerboa.
summit is the only other client that i tried and wasn't irritated by, but I've reverted back to jerboa after a few days. i like how streamlined jerboa is, and how it just works and always has.
it looks like the summit dev is working overtime getting everything in order and finishing several feature rollouts, so I'll check that out again in a couple of months.
I have a hard time believing Summit Dev has time for a day job! 😂
I feel every bug is patched same/next day and they keep constantly adding to the feature set. There have been a ton of upgrades this year, and it was perfect to me once they added custom user tags, so now everything is just a bonus.
I like all their decisions and they take feedback in what works for us, and at this point you can turn almost anything on/off so you get what you want.
I use Eternity. AFAIK it doesn't have ads and it's pretty much what I'm looking for. I tried others but they had ads and I couldn't tolerate that.
