    My top choices:

    • Jerboa and Eternity are native Android apps (the first uses modern technologies like Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, the second one has a lot of Java code and the UI is made with XML layouts for activities/fragments);
    • Voyager is portable web app built with React in Typescript, with mobile flavours made using Ionic capacitor;
    • Thunder is a cross-platform app built with Flutter in Dart (like Liftoff and Lemmur were in their days);
    • there are other FOSS apps like Combustibile (native/Java+XML) or Muffed (Flutter)…

      I just want one that opens the lemmy links properly when I click on them from within in posts. I have all links selected in open default apps.

        That’s an interesting point… Jerboa should handle Lemmy handles correctly in the form !element@host.

        Also hyperlinks in the form of https://host/u/name (or https://host/c/name) are intercepted and opened in app.

        I’m not its maintainer but I read its source code and IIRC those cases are handled…
