I used sync for Lemmy and Reddit, but switched to eternity like 6 months ago.
Very similar layout options & oled black night mode.
Doesn't work: Spoilers Gifs & Gboard gif search
Everything else is fine.
I've never used an app for Lemmy just the mobile browser.
Boost. Only problem I have is videos often only play in thumbnail and load infinitely when clicked on. Not that important for me though.
With Jerboa and Voyager there were a lot of small problems that just made the experience worse.
Having tried almost all apps for Lemmy, Summit is the best. Not only is it feature rich, it also let's me view some content from instances that don't load for me on other clients. And this apparently only happens on Lemmy.zip.
Jerboa. I find the UI very nice. Right around amount of info and density (i hate excessive padding), fully customizable colors, not 1 glitch
The only issue I ever experienced on Jerboa was gifs just not playing until you clicked on them and you never knew if something was supposed to be a gif or not.
Voyager
I had to check, but voyager, evidently.
firefox
Are you me? This is exactly what I needed too because I was on Sync for years now and had no idea development stopped. Started to notice a lot of small issues here and there with it and finally saw there's been no updates on almost 2 years.
I tried Voyager and I liked the gestures for votes and being able to customize things pretty well. Also trying out Boost right now and I like how familiar it is to me since I used it on Reddit, but now I'm missing the gestures.
I use Boost. Not open-source, but the ads are non-intrusive to me and it just feels like home.
I just paid the $5 or whatever. Felt right to support the dev after using it on reddit for so long
Blorp
I'm using Jerboa, even though I saw what Blorp is like, and I'm preparing g to switch (just used to Jerboa UI)
Blorp dev here. We’d love to have you! Let me know if there is anything preventing you from switching that I can improve.
Firefox.
I am quite happy with Voyager
I have you voted +5 right now actually (including this).
+1 for Voyager from me
Top voted this is what I'm going with
Voyager but the lack of the language field is not great. Posting with Voyager gets you less reach

Firefox on mobile.
Voyager, but I wish I could see other people's modlogs, they sound funny
I’d never looked at mine before now, apparently I’ve been banned from a couple communities for being an “anti-ai troll”, presumably for downvoting something at some point.
Theoretically you shouldn't be banned for things that happen outside a community unless it's very severely.
Interstellar and Voyager
Summit and Interstellar are my two favorite's right now.
I second Summit.
I still have Sync because I transitioned with it from Reddit, but Summit is now my daily driver.
Samesies
Boost (Android)
It was the best app for Reddit before. Now it's the best app for Lemmy.
Using paid Boost. Worth it.
Ditto Boost. I have accounts on Lemmy and PieFed both on the same app.
Boost as well, used Sync but now it is a mess

Jerboa
Eternity. I didn't like Voyager, too many bells and whistles.
Eternity is pretty simple, no user avatars, allows faster reading of actual content.
I like reading other peoples perspectives her, and Eternity does not seem to be recieving regular bug-fixes. So many Voyager Enjoyers that I may give it another try.
Thunder. Cross-platform and it has a very nice uncluttered UI. Works with piefed too.
Firefox.
I use the Website, on my computer. I don't use Lemmy (and use no other social at all) on the phone.
Connect. With Voyager as comparison.
