Welcome to Lemmy :)
I use both iOS and Android to access lemmy, I think Boost on Android is the best app, and I use mlem on iOS.
I had issues with jerboa when I switched over, I don’t think I would recommend it to newcomers.
That’s great to know, and will try to compare. Can’t say I had yet trouble with Jerboa, but then again only today did I start to nuke my reddit history - initiating the full switch to Lemmy. Any info is always welcome, stay well! 😁
