Iβm posting from Memmy for Lemmy on iOS, but flip between it and Mlem as they out-update each other. Glorious days, these are.

Memmy and WefWef mainly on iOS.
Iβll add that Mlem is pretty awesome too.
My eyes
You aren't wrong...
Liftoff. I tried the rest but Liftoff seems the best.
Tried quite a few and enjoying WefWef the most right now, gets updates frequently too. It's a cross platform progressive web app and good ones are rare to see. https://wefwef.app/
WefW
The frequency of updates is insane. Multiple updates a day at the moment lol. Still, I kinda miss Sync. I'm hyped for that.

jerboa when it feels like working but as soon as sync releases I'm switching over

Right now my main app is Liftoff, with Jerboa being a very close second.
What is it about liftoff that you like Vs the other apps that are in TestFlight
Tried most I could find on github and the playstore, and liftoff was the first that kinda ticked all the boxes. Only thing I'm missing is an option to view all account at once, with a filter for duplicated subscription posts.
I like the ability to navigate by swiping, and also Liftoff handles images better than any of the other apps. There's a slight loading delay on Connect and Jerboa, whereas in Liftoff, the image opens right away and you can easily swipe it away to close it.
Currently I use Jerboa first, but if that doesn't work I switch to Connect, then Wefwef then just a web browser. All to wait for Sync for Lemmy to release.

Lemmy Connect
My eyes, usually
I've also been using your eyes, usually
Jerboa
I'm using Jerboa right now. When I'm on my laptop I use Firefox.
Android user here, i use Jerboa πββοΈ
Currently using wefwef, but Iβm waiting to try the others that are available for iOS once they get out of the TestFlight stage.
FYI Memmy is on the App Store now. Itβs a slightly outdated version but there should be an update for that any day now.

Memmy
Btw I love the name Memmy for Lemmyπ
Desktop browser. Firefox more specifically.
Wefwef
Lift off.
I just use the mobile website. It works and doesn't harass me to use something else, which are both huge improvements from Reddit!
The Mlem app deserves more attention. Wefwef is very good but Mlem should be in the mix. I switch between both.

Mozilla Firefox
Connect and wefwef. But also keeping an eye on the other apps when they get updated.
Memmy for Lemmy on iOS and Mac is awesome
My eyes.. nah I use the regular lemmy website on my computer and wefwef/jeboa on mobile.
Been using Memmy on iOS & the official website for Mac
wefwef and Firefox!
Already in love with https://wefwef.app . Feels really snappy on both Android and iOS, really great job from the developers. Also copying the Apollo UI/UX made me feel comfortable since minute 1.
Even though there are plenty of great and quickly evolving mobile apps, I use the web interface both on desktop and mobile devices. It's actually quite good, and since I'm a mod and instance admin, the feature completeness is key. Apps are not there yet.
Wefwef on iOS. I only wish I could block communities from it. Otherwise, itβs great and I love it!
I use mostly the web app. Memmy, Mlem, Jerboa, Liftoff, etc. all look cool, but to be honest, I'm not sure I'll ever go back to having an app on my phone like I did with Reddit. I think I want my engagement with Lemmy to be more on a "when I feel like it" basis than a "when a push notification summons me" basis.
My eyes
Just kidding, i use Liftoff.
I've found myself defaulting to liftoff lately and not regretting it, but threads like these remind me to not get complacent! I found jerboa tough to get started with but decent after configuration was done. I like wefwef as well.
Fwiw I was a Boost user on Reddit
I was using Firefox on android for a couple of weeks, with a link of my home screen to make it feel more like an app, but everything I left the app, Firefox would crash. I re-downloaded thr DuckDuckGo browser and tried the same thing with that, and had much more success.
I also downloaded and tried Jerboa, but it wouldn't remember my browsing preferences, always defaulting to Local communities, sorted by Active. Also, Day was the smallest increment under the Top sorting. None of that matched with my preferences.
Web on desktop and mobile.
Thunder on Android. Waiting patiently for sync for lemmy.
Memmy, love it
