Sync! It's what I used on Reddit, and having it here made switching platforms so much smoother.

Voyager…formerly wefwef.
It has all platforms - Web, PWA, iOS and Android.
It is free and open source. No tracking and no ads.
It is wild that on github, Voyager almost has much stars as Lemmy. I love this app so far. (And lemmy as well)
Me too. Same app for my PC and Android feels good.

Sync
Boost (the best social app ever) & Jerboa (simple, lightweight alternative).
Boost gang! 🚀🚀
I can't even begin to describe how amazing Boost is. It's the only android Reddit app that I will acknowledge, and it's the only client that got me into Lemmy.
Has to be Boost.
You can 1- hand with boost. That's all you need to know

Boost
Memmy (on iOS).
Astoundingly good for solo effort at sub v1.0.
Yeah. It’s my favorite at the moment, but it doesn’t seem well maintained
The github is active again! Looks like the dev is back from their break
Boost!
I tried many waiting for Sync release on Lemmy, but nothing felt as complete, it's just far and away the best IMHO.
Jerboa
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.
That issue with Boost may be device dependent. It is only a split second of black for me on an S23. But, i agree it should just be better no matter the device.
For Voyager, there is a setting to show the instance.

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.
Jerboa
Boost is the reason I'm contributing to this community.
Nothing comes close to Sync Ultra. It's software designed by the Internet gods themselves aka @ljdawson.

tried Jerboa at first but it was extremely choppy. Now I use Sync and it's smooth af
Eternity, I came from infinity, so it's the only choice for me
Posted from Boost!
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.
Eternity
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.
Firefox.
Alexandrite for desktop, bean for iOS and Boost for Android
Thunder rn. The design is minimalistic and supports Material You. It lacks some major features though.
