I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but i'm new to Lemmy and looking for a good client to use it with. I've been using Sync which is what i used to use with Reddit but i've noticed that it isn't getting updates now. Any other good mobile apps I can usr Lemmy with?

There's a problem that it seems to use a lot of memory, because it's a web browser in disguise. As a consequence, any time another app needs memory, Voyager is killed by Android and starts again from the main page, forgetting what I was doing. Oftentimes it's enough to switch to the actual browser and back again for Voyager to restart, which is ironic for a link-aggregator app.

Its animations are janky for the same reason, and get in the way of some functionality like collapsing comments.

Voyager's UI is great, mainly because it's not flashy, but a native app with that UI would be a lot better. RedReader for Reddit is much smoother to use.

I'm quite happy with Voyager, never used anything else.

Maybe you should use something else in order to see the larger picture. It‘s hard to know what you really want when you don‘t compare.

That says more than you might know, respectfully.
