Best Lemmy client for Android?
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?

Honestly, using https://wefwef.app as a web app is hard to beat right now. It works very smoothly, and I finally understand why all the iOS users mourn the loss of Apollo so hard. Granted, using an iOS-esque interface on an Android device is a bit odd, but the gestures and the layout are just chef's kiss.
The biggest issue with it is that it's getting hammered on the primary domain, so I'll probably move to self-host it sooner than later.
Once the PR for more permissive CORS support gets merged and lands in the popular servers there will no longer be a need for wefwef and other apps like it to proxy requests on behalf of users. I'm personally waiting to properly release my WIP client until then, as I really don't want to take on the burden and responsibility of proxying user data. If you're a developer you can check my current progress here, and here's a short video I recorded that is already very out of date.
Yes, also wefwef has been having a lot of issues specifically with lemmy.world. I have accounts on three other Lemmy instances and have only had issues there.
Things have gotten significantly better over the past day though. Looks like that big lemmy.world update pushed this morning has helped quite a bit.
I’ve also seen others hopping on other instances of wefwef out there.

I'm on lemm.ee using wefwef and had zero problems in the past few days since I started using it. I think most of the problems come from the instance that hosts your account rather than the frontend of wefwef.
I have an instance of WefWef just for my Lemmy instance. https://app.thelemmy.club
That way I can give my users WefWef without having to put any more load on their main server
Connect has an android style interface and the swipe gestures like Apollo / wefwef. It's pretty good for now until Sync for Lemmy comes out.
