I mostly use Connect and sometimes wefwef too. I tried Jerboa but it's very laggy on my phone. And I'm waiting for Sync.
I keep jumping between wefwef and liftoff.
With time they are all going to improve and have the things we all want, then I guess it will just be down to taste
Jerboa for browsing everything. And then Slide while at work because I disabled NSFW in Slide.
Liftoff! Why? Because I love swiping back from the middle of the screen instead of the sides.
Mlem. Early but good :D
Thunder
jerboa
As a kbin user do these apps work for that or not? I chose kbin because i prefer the web UX.
I use kbin as well. As you stated, the interface is appealing.
I just migrated to the Lemmyverse so I'm trying new stuff out but so far, kbin is for me.

Kbin doesn't have an API yet so the apps in development for it are scraping thier own. Artemis is looking incredibly promising and the dev is great.
I've been using a firefox shortcut for Kbin and it's been working great though in the meantime (mobile).
I've tried using the firefox shortcut on my phone, and it's less than great (imho). I can't type replies, it goes all janky, freezes up, won't go back to the home page, etc. Virtually unuseable.
Ok this works well for me. Easy to read and navigate. Perhaps try again, maybe they fixed it.

I'm on iOS. I've tried Liftoff!, Mlem and Thunder. So far I like Mlem the most.
I have never used Boost for Reddit, but I'm still excited to see what Boost for Lemmy will be like.

This has been asked dozens of times in the past days and weeks. I wish people would use the search function.
Long term I hope we move a part of this to the wiki. https://joinfediverse.wiki/What_is_Lemmy%3F
To still provide something helpful for the current thread: https://lemmyapps.netlify.app/

I'm on iOS and I'm using Mlem. It seems to be changing and shifting rapidly. Already changed noticeably 3 or so times within three to five weeks. Imagine if Reddit app fixed three to five of the bugs that most annoyed me that quickly...
I am using Liftoff and Jerboa with lemmy.ml - I prefer Liftoff. Lemmy.ml is pretty slow recently.
I also have a kbin account with subscriptions to the same communities, and on mobile I am using the web app: Howto install a web app.
Firefox. My initial experience with Jerboa wasn't great but it is improving.
Kbin + kbin enhancement script + ublock through a Kiwi Browser "app" install. I tried all the Lemmy specific apps, including wefwef, and couldn't stand any of them. Some were completely borked because beehaw was still on .17, others were incredibly buggy or they had very weird layout & design choices that made the usability experience just too weird.
I'm with Liftfoff, until Beyond reaches its usable stage (RIP Infinity).
Memmy ftw. But also, developing my own app for macOS right now :)
jerboa, liftoff & wefwef, although I see liftoff more.
Was using wefwef but could not get over the PWA feel, now using Mlem and loving it!
I'm using Thunder. It's working well except maybe for the facts that upvoting takes forever and I keep getting 502 errors all the time, but I'm unsure whether that's Thunder's fault or it's just because my is instance is lemmy.world lol
