Best Android Lemmy client for someone coming from Reddit? (lemmy.ml)

Hi everyone! I recently switched from Reddit and I'm still getting used to Lemmy.

I'm looking for an Android client that feels as close as possible to the Reddit experience: a clean feed, smooth gestures, easy community switching and strong user expirience.

I've seen many options (Voyager, Thunder, Jerboa, Summit, Raccoon, Interstellar) and I'm not sure which one to pick. Open source is a plus for me.

What do you use, and why? Any pros and cons from daily use would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!

I was using Sync for a good long while but I cut over to Summit. I couldn't get over the fact that I was paying a yearly subscription for Sync but I hadn't seen an update in 10 months while features were broken. Community posts with questions in the Sync community went unanswered.

If the dev ever ended up resurfacing, it might be worth using, but there are now plenty of non subscription based Lemmy apps to choose from. I'm not going to pay $17 a year for abandonware.
