Best Lemmy App in 2024 (lemmy.world)

Now that the Reddit exodus is about a year old and the client apps have matured, what's the latest state of the above question?

What app do you use and why? I'm mainly interested in Android but suggestions for other platforms are also welcome. And if you are using multiple platforms, what's your primary one?

I use Thunder. It looks nice, runs well, is actively developed, and the devs are very communicative and open to feedback.

I use Jebora and am happy, is there something important I'm missing? I was a Reddit is Fun user before and I like both because of how simple and basic they are. I hated the official reddit app for the reasons above.

Edit: the one thing I don't like is you can't, or I don't know how, to collapse all child comments.

I will admit I am very biased as a contributor to Thunder. I'm not an expert on all clients but Thunder has some super cool features.

Really good markdown rendering (I've seen it render things that the other "big" apps miss.
The agility to post and (soon) comment as any of your logged-in accounts.
Notifications for inbox messages, soon to be integrated with UnifiedPush.
Really good Lemmy link parsing and in-app navigation.
Ability to favorite communities.
Customizable swipe gestures, username and community name formatting and coloring, action colors, etc.

And these are just some of the recent things on the top of my head! I'm sure others can chime in with things I missed!

Thanks for your service! I've been trying out Thunder and I'm generally happy with it so far.
