I tried one called Lemmur that I downloaded off F-Droid, however, it can not find this instance (lemmy.world). I want one that's open-source, and preferably from F-Droid (because screw Google). Which one do you guys use?

I think we are still in the phase where there is so much movement this answer might become outdated rather quickly.

For what it's worth I have installed: connect, liftoff, thunder, jebora and werwef (web app). But there are more I haven't tried yet

Currently writing from connect, which is my favorite.

As reference for Reddit clients I used to used relay (on my phone) and slide (on my tablet)

Same. Tried Jerboa for some time, but ended up with Connect.

As a fellow Relay user you may be interested in the client I'm working on. I wanted the Relay client for Lemmy but nothing out there mirrors its layout, so I decided to build it myself.

Here's the Github repo and a short recording of the UI which is already out of date.

Thanks i'll check it out for sure. Even if the UI recording is already out of date it already shows a feature i really liked about relay on mobile:

The feature that you swipe right->left to reveal the options (up/down vote, save, share and so on) is something i really liked about relay. And at least until now i haven't really adjusted/grown to like the way most other apps including connect seem to handle it. Which is having a quick action based on how far you drag the post towards the left.

That was the number one thing for me as well. I despise the whole swipe 20px to upvote, 40 to downvote, etc. I want clear and obvious UI elements optimized for one handed use, which means little to nothing I have to reach to the top of the phone for
