I made a folder with my fav lemmy apps that I tried so far, and they are sorted by favorite to less favorite. By far, wefwef is my most used and I do switch to lifoff sometimes. Also, the official lemmy app is really not bad compared to reddit's official app. I would say try all of them and see which one works the best for you. waiting for sync and boost to launch. let me know if you have any other suggestions I haven't tried yet.
I'm also using Memmy for iOS, but it's under beta on TestFlight.

Also tried wefwef. It looks cool and all, but it's a web app in the end. Not really a fan of those and they tend to consume more battery than the native experience.
I've been trying them as well. It feels like each one (so far) has something problematic--quite understandable given their early development.
I'm really looking forward to trying Sync when it's ready.
Cries in kbin.
Workaround: create a Lemmy account and subscribe to your favorite Kbin magazines.
I'm finding Kbin's PWA perfectly fine for now, honestly! I'll likely switch to an app once there's a good one available, but I don't feel like my experience is bad right now.
They all kinda suck at this stage.
Ah, that explains the navigation difficulties.
Kept accidentally backing out of the page.
I'm trying out Summit now and it's quite good. But I don't think it has a list of communities that I'm subscribed to and I can only choose to either see all posts from my "subreddits" or all from my instance/federation. Apart from that it's good.

Looks like lemmotif is in super beta and can't even add an account. It does load pretty quickly though.
Which ones are open source?

Seems like servers are being hugged, multiple apps behaving the same, LOL.
