I use voyager but I’m gonna try thunder now
Connect for Android was my jam, but now that I'm on Mbin I'm liking Interstellar (which also works with Lemmy).
Connect is the most like the reddit is fun client. How i like to shitpost and see content
Sync on Android. I'll go down with the ship, I guess. If ljdawson never comes back I'll be forced to look into other options eventually, but for now it still works, despite some bugs. It just looks and feels the best to me, and I've yet to find another app that can exactly replicate how I have it set up.

Arctic on iOS; prefer it to Voyager, Mlem, and Thunder due to having more customization options.
I tried it for a while, but it left the rotation, I barely checked the customization options on that one tho, ill give it another try, when I had media not shwoing up or working on the other apps it still worked in Arctic everytime.
Something that only it seems to have, versus the others I compared it to, is a "headline" view for the feed. It's essentially an extra compact version of the compact view, putting the post's community name in line with the upvote, downvote, comment counts and post age. Only saves a bit of space compared to the comparison I made a few minutes ago in trying Thunder's compact view, but most of all it makes the feed less cluttered, in my opinion.

Jerboa on Android. I don't really visit Lemmy anywhere else.
Voyager on iOS. It’s the best for my use case and I like the UI the most.

On desktop, either the vanilla PWA for Lemmy, or alexandrite.app. I Really like alexandrite.
On the phone, I flip between Thunder, Summit, Sync, and Connect. Gotta keep a tab on how they develop, and I like them all, for different reasons.
Edit: my current preferred client on mobile is Thunder. Like you say, it feels like a modern way of browsing Lemmy, it's really good.
I'm a big fan of using https:// in Mull on my Android, and in Firefox on my PC.
Never been a fan of installing more apps then necessary.
I try to use Thunder but still mostly use my instance's tesseract UI when I need to do moderation as Thunder lacks them.
I used eternity for a long while, but it is buggy and development is slow (if not dead?). So I switched to the Voyager android app and never looked back.
I'm using Eternity, I haven't tried more so I can't compare, but I liked Eternity enough to don't have the need to try others.

I use Voyager on Android. It's a quality app that just works. On my iPad I use a safari plug in called sink-it.
I was swapping back and forth between that and mlem for a while, I like the custom interaction bar in mlem. Feels nice to finetune, but voyager just works and has plenty of settings to get the necessary customizations. I like that the issue for me is that they are all good, so I just end up using them all.

I like how the thunder app shows what update the instances you are logged into are on, lemmy.world is so far behind the others lol
I'm quite happy with Jerboa on GrapheneOS, and on desktop I prefer to visit Lemmy via Tesseract.
I just started using phtn.app on desktop, saw it on a lemmy comment recently, supports multiple account login, havent tried tesseract on desktop, was setting up a friendica, but got lazy (like how you see comments along with the post on the feed, but you gotta manually sub to everything)
