MODERATORS
Lemmur is busted because it has been abandoned. The creator made that clear on GitHub but not in the F-Droid description. I wish they'd remove it from F-Droid.
I'm trying out Thunder, Liftoff, and Jerboa, all on F-Droid. All are decent but a little buggy. Shop around, see what you like.
Since the 0.18 upgrade, just the web page in Firefox for Android. Works better than the apps I've tried. They all still need development time.

Right now Connect and Thunder are the best, in my opinion.
Bouncing back and forth between Jerboa / Connect / kBin on mobile web right now. Who knows what it'll be next week.
This is a fun period of extremely rapid innovation, with new Fediverse apps getting announced nearly every few days by extremely talented developers. Many of these alpha/beta apps already have a better user experience than the 1st-party Reddit app, and it should get even better from here on out.
I liked Liftoff the best as a dedicated client, but ended up on Wefwef. It just seems to work more consistently.

Been using Liftoff, but will definitely switch when Boost for Lemmy comes out.
liftoff is the best I've tried so far
I'm using Jerboa for the moment, of the couple I tried is the one that performs the best and it looks good.
I'm waiting for Boost though since I used it for reddit for the entirety of my time there, I'm a loyal user.
It looks like only Jerboa and something called Lemmur are the only two available on F-Droid at the moment?
Jerboa works pretty well for me. I really like wefwef (a web app). Liftoff looks nice to me.
Ultimately a lot of us are eagerly awaiting Sync for Lemmy!
[edit] Having said all of that--I'm really having fun trying any and all of them as they arrive!
Enjoying liftoff so far, only issue is you can't get back to your comments from your profile
Like if you look at your comments on your profile and wish to see them in context of the post they were made on, tapping on the comment will just collapse the 'thread' in your profile page lol. Kinda weird but using the menu to open it in browser gets around it for now. Aside from that, super smooth UI and performance aside from the occasional 502/3 hiccup.

For me personally, and the app experience I'm accustomed to, Connect and wefwef are the current jam.
