I actually just switched from Jerboa to Connect based on this thread, and I'm loving it. Much nicer UI and easier to use. I think I'll stay with this until Sync is ready!

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I've found Connect for Lemmy to be a great successor to Reddit is Fun
I downloaded connect for lemmy yesterday just to see, and although it won't let me sign in unless I give it my email instead of username. (ive been SOL if an instance doesn't require an email, but maybe it works on someone elses) i think I'm liking connect better than jerboa though. For me it's been less glitchy, and it easier to access content.

Another list I got from a similar post on r/RedditAlternatives. I personally used Slide for reddit, so I'm excited about getting something similar for Lemmy. For now, I got Jerboa from the play store and am enjoying it.
I love Jerboa, but can't right now because lemmy.world doesn't support the latest update. Currently using Liftoff for the meantime.

Jerboa is the most mature for now. Using the web ui as a PWA is fairly popular.
I'm using Jerboa. I used to use BaconReader for reddit, and they seem kind of similar to me in that it's very no-frills, simple ui that gives you access to the content you want.
There is Thunder: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder. You can upvote/downvote, reply and whatnot by doing side-swipes. Pretty neat.

Another satisfied Connect user here, at least for the time being. It needs polishing, but it seems to just work.
I just use firefox most of the apps I have tried did not work.
Oh god yes please. Thanks for asking! I had the same question! I've been trying to browse lemmy.world on Firefox, but the auto updating feed bug is still killing me...
I also use mainly Jerboa, though I'm keeping an eye on Liftoff bc it has a nice interface and promising set of future features

If you feel like trying a web application, have a look at wefwef.app It runs in your browser, but you should be able to install it as a PWA soon.
What's wrong with the browser?
I have a limited data plan, and the browser uses up a lot more data then an app would.
