Alternatives to Boost? (lemmy.zip)

I've been a long-time Boost user but it's become almost unusable due to it failing to load images when using a Lemmy.zip account, possibly due to the Avif format. The app is updated infrequently, and people's reports of the issue have been ignored.

I've tried a few alternative clients, but none of them comes close to the experience. Summit can be made to look close, but still has weird color schemes and applies the color to the community names, making them stand out more than the post title. Voyager just uses the WebView on Android, feeling like using a web browser. Scrolling through posts in Raccoon is choppy.

What's everyone's go-to app if not Boost?

Thanks for all the replies so far! The apps have customization options, so checking them out isn't as simple as just installing and using them all for a few minutes, which is why the feedback is valuable.
