I find myself doing a lot more commenting than original posting and so Lemmy is a much better choice for me in the way I like to use social media. I do have a mastodon account, but it's not something I go on super often. In fact, my launcher has swipe gestures and so I can just flick one finger to the right on my home screen and Thunder opens so that I can browse the latest stuff on Lemmy but I never did that for Mastodon.

For android I can recommend the Lemmy Connect app. Pretty good.

I am a big fan of Thunder, primarily, because it reminds me a lot of a Reddit app that I used to use called Red Reader. And I helped the developers implement screen reader accessibility from very near the beginning. And so, at least to my knowledge, it is one of the most accessible, lemmy clients.

I still use RedReader for Reddit, it's a lot less convenient with its swipe gestures though than Connect. Makes me automatically use Lemmy more than Reddit.

Because I use a screen reader so often I have these swipe gestures turned off because otherwise it gets really annoying.
