I've tried them all and they are all quite good. I think currently Liftoff is the best, followed closely by Jerboa and Connect.

You may have to use f-droid to install them if you can't find them in Play Store. :)

When Jerboa works, it's a great mobile client for Lemmy but I've found that it often gets stuck in the "Local" of whatever instance I closed out of the last time I used the app. It also refreshes to the front page of my subscribed communities when I'm done reading a post and try to go back to browsing. I'll have to check out Liftoff! I'm mainly just waiting out till Sync for Lemmy comes out because that was my go-to Reddit browser.

Jerboa is updated all the time and they will iron out the bugs, but yeah, Liftoff is currently the most polished experience I think. I tried it today and liked it a lot.

The user interface is quite nice but I have found some bugs. I get duplicate showing of posts sometimes! Let me know if you also get the same, would be interesting to know :)

I'll check it out, thanks! Usually, when Jerboa freezes up I'll check FDriod for an update, and half the time there is an update that fixes it, but the other half of the time I just have to go touch grass lol.

Hehe yeah i know what you mean :) I check FDroid all the time for updates also... :)

But we are really spoiled for choice when it comes to clients now! Feels amazing to know that we already have great clients, and even better ones are on the way (Boost for Reddit will probably be incredible).
