theres so many lemmy clients i guess thats one of the benefits of lemmy being licensed under agpl and has a free api
Lemmy UI and Jerboa seem to work well for me and they are both open-source.

Eternity is one my favorite client
Sync on my phone and Photon on desktop.
I access Lemmy through the browser all the time. The experience is solid and consistent across devices and I need access to both mod and (occasionally) admin tools.
I'm using a mix of Sync and Eternity. I was using Infinity for Reddit before the migration.
Because Sync came first, it's still my default way to navigate Lemmy but Eternity is slowly growing on me. I prefer to alternate between a few apps to stay up to date on the alternatives, and to ensure I don't become dependant on a single app/interface.
I've also tested a few times Photon, great web UI which can be installed as a PWA.
To be honest I was extremely skeptical about Sync because I didn't use it for Reddit and I thought that the default web-ui is pretty neat even on my mobile phone. But curiosity got me and I installed it, even though it's not FLOSS and it has ads in it which are two no-goes for me. Still I'm using it on the phone predominately, but I hate myself for it.

I've found Summit the best for me, personally, on Android. I've been able to configure it closest to how I used RIF which is what I wanted.
Alexandrite & Sync
Hell yeah, 30% sync users. I've always thought Sync was the best reddit client, and now it's the best Lemmy client.
Voyager is 90% Apollo and is absolutely solid. Try Voyager App. Intuitive, beautifully designed and based off Christianβs source code.

I use Connect. Ive not had any issues.
Im not a power user either though, so maybe theres some features not here, you may want. No idea
But theres custom themes. You can pick your own colors for the different elements.

I was previously using Memmy and itβs good, but it hasnβt been updated for a while. Iβm giving Avelon a try and it is nice so far.

Just an interesting note, I see a lot of talk about Avalon in the comments being amazing but not as many votes as other clients. It seems pretty new, but already has a loyal userbase. Wish it was on Android so I could check it out!
