I've tried Jerboa, then Sync, then Summit, and now I'm using Thunder. There were always small things that annoyed me enough to start looking for a new client after a few months, but I've had this for... a year or so now? It's very customizable, so that's nice.

I guess I'm the only one here actively using Boost. I like it. Been using it since long before it was a Lemmy client, haha!
Using boost, it's fairly reliable and I enjoy it.
I use boost. I find sometimes videos don't show but other than that it's been good.
Eternity hasn't been updated in a while, but it still works great.
I use Raccoon. It's on Fdroid. Pretty neat UI :)
What is happening with Raccoon? There is no update in a long while now.
May be unpopular, but I haven't found anything that works better than jerboa. It's maintained by the Lemmy devs. It's simple, open source, customizable.
Boost!
The best by far. He had a great app for that other shit site.
Try it, you'll like it. Guarantee.
Tried boost for reddit but I didn't like the ui and it seems like they've still got the same ui on the Lemmy version
As in the other comment... You can change all types of UI settings.
Layout, fonts, title font colors, comment font colors, etc.
Honestly, so much available, it's actually a little overwhelming for me.
The current Lemmy version is very customizable. I think it has seven basic types of views, which are further customizable how you like. You can kinda make it look like whatever you want.
Indeed. Actually more choices than I can even deal with... yet, great!

Blorp has been amazing for me, thats what I am using rn.
2nd blorp!
Still using Memmy even though it‘s a broken pile of rust now. The UI is still the best for me.
I used sync for a while then once it became sort of dead tried a couple others and settled with boost. The most important factor is that it is the only Lemmy app (that I could find) that orders saved posts according to the time you saved them and not when it was created.
ps: After looking at some of the comments here I checked a couple others and jerboa also does the same
I use Voyager (and boost, and sync before that). I like Voyager (now that I'm used to it), but I wish the medium sized thumbnails in compact mode were slightly larger.
I think there's a way to make that happen. Sorry I don't use apps, I just played around with it in the past, but I recall not liking it until someone told me how to make the images larger - buried VERY deep in the customizations somewhere - and then afterwards it became my favorite app (except I don't actually use apps, but IF I did, it would be Voyager. Or Thunder. And with full sized images that don't cut parts out.)

Connect is good for me, don't know what the situation with the dev is though, seems like development might have stopped

I main Connect since LiftOff died and Jerboa has been breaking more and more.
If you liked RIF you're gonna like Jerboa.
NB: The jerboa dev is one of the lemmy devs and it works great for lemmy, but it is never gonna support piefed.
