I'm hopping myself but Thunder is quite solid, so far it's the one that I like the most.
No one mentioned Summit yet? I've tried Jerboa, Liftoff, Thunder, Connect, Lemmur.. pretty much all of the available Lemmy client and in the end I uninstalled all of them but Summit.
Connect for Lemmy works well for me.
I'm also using connect. I find the searching for communities to be terrible and a couple of other issues, but the bread and butter of reading posts, comments, commenting is very comfortable. I'd recommend it too right now.
Yeah, searching/ subscribing is a pain. I also would like a feature to be able to copy just a link on long press like there was with RiF. I really, badly miss RiF.
Using Liftoff right now. Jerboa was also pretty functional. Thunder seemed promising but buggy. Lemmur is abandoned and got forked for Liftoff.
Honestly, using https://wefwef.app as a web app is hard to beat right now. It works very smoothly, and I finally understand why all the iOS users mourn the loss of Apollo so hard. Granted, using an iOS-esque interface on an Android device is a bit odd, but the gestures and the layout are just chef's kiss.
The biggest issue with it is that it's getting hammered on the primary domain, so I'll probably move to self-host it sooner than later.
Connect for Lemmy is my go to. The dev just released an update too with a ton more features. It's working great and I like it more than WefWef.

Connect dev here. Glad you're enjoying it!
Can we get this on fdroid?
I don't mind jerboa tbh but I'm kind of waiting to see if sync for reddit becomes a thing.
