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?

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.

Comfortable is the best way to describe it. I think it's very similar in function and design to sync, which makes it very easy to use while waiting for Sync for Lemmy

[–] omgnvq@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

Also used sync, maybe that's why it feels nice to me too

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.

I'm actually finding the experience in Chrome browser to be pretty good.

Definately waiting on Sync though.

Connect has some good features, like subscription Favorites, Filters (excluding posts containing filter words), Sort defaults for comments and posts, Text size for comments and posts, and Comment dividers. The developer is active and responsive on the https://lemmy.ca/c/lemmyconnect community. The app is available on Google Play, and is not currently Open Source.

Agree. As someone coming from Sync, Connect is the most familiar, intuitive app I've tried. It's a solid start
