I have three candidates:

  1. https://wefwef.app

  2. Thunder

  3. Lemming

I'd put Jerboa in 4th until it gets functional again.

Same here! Though I feel when Jerboa becomes usable again, it'll be #1 for me, until then Wefwef rules

Thunder, though jerboa has more functionality by a nose, and if it wasn't buggy for me, it might take top spot preference wise

Wefwef.app I'm in love πŸ€©πŸŒ‹

I just have my instance installed as a progressive web app with emails enabled for replies. It's a little roundabout I suppose, but my email will give me a notification when I get something.

I like jerboa usually but using it less until lemmy.world updates. Using connect as a backup. I like they are both able to be not card style.

I’ve been using MemmyApp the most. It has been very good and it’s getting daily updates from the dev.

I do not know about clients without Google services. But, I use lemmy sites in pwa and jerboa, thunder and liftoff. They were alright.

Sync - whenever it launches. :) Was my favorite reddit one.

Out of the current options I have tried (Connect, Jerboa, Liftoff and Thunder) I think my favorite is Liftoff.

Jerboa isn't compatible with my main instance, but I enjoyed using it as my first app before the others came out. Connect is seemingly slow to communicate between instances/communities for me and I am picky about some of its organizational features. Thunder does a decent job, probably close runner up to Liftoff. Going to keep trying each one as the apps and Lemmy itself develops.
