What Android app should I use to browse Lemmy?

I'm trying to stop using Reddit, but it having an app I know about makes it have quite an advantage.

I know there's a few apps out there I can use to browse Lemmy, but I'm not sure about their names and the different features they offer.

If you are a fellow reddit refugee, the Sync for Lemmy is coming soon.

I'm new but Jerboa works like a charm on my Samsung, very fast and responsive.

This might sound crazy, but i am just using the website via Firefox on my phone. Jerboa wasnt doing it for me, and someone recommended just using the website... I prefer it over jerboa. I imagine with all the development going on, there will be something better showing up, but until it does, I'm just going old school.

~~Jerboa. Haven't had any issues~~

~~Edit for more info: I'm running Jerboa on my Samsung 21+; created account in browser, then added account in Jerboa app.~~

Edit2: Switched to just using Lemmy.world through browser on phone. Jerboa had too many issues when they added 2FA

Currently using Jerboa. I want simplicity and no clutter. It would be nice if there was a "collapse all" for comments. And would like to be able to double-click an image and have it zoom in.

- Mostly just he collapse function for comments. It's really necessary.

  Just click on the text of the comment and it will collapse!

I'm the developer of Summit. Unfortunately I don't see anyone mention Summit but I would suggest giving it a try as well.

I think I've been a bit slower to implement certain features compared to the other apps, but the app is heavily focused on scalability and performance. Give it a try just in case you might like it. Play store link: Summit for Lemmy

- Is it open source?

- I'm replying on Connect for Lemmy. I just looked at your app and it's super dope but I've got to say the one thing that throws me off is the button for the link is on the far side from my finger. I also like swiping to reply and vote and nonsense like that and your app doesn't have it.
  
  Take your time however and implement things well and I'll keep it in mind. My favorite app for Reddit was Relay I think I will be looking for an app until I get something similar or exactly the same.
  
  List mode ftw

  Thank you for your feedback! Regarding "button for the link" could you clarify what this is? Are you talking about the link to the community the post was from?
