Thunder, which is on the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repo is a decent Lemmy Android app that plays well with lemmy.world currently. It also supposedly has an iOS version.
Frequently getting "404: FetchError: invalid json response body at http://lemmy:8536/api/v3/site" when trying to visit posts here, maybe due to some backend overload. I guess you know about this but mentioning because I didn't notice other posts about it.
Captcha has been merged https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3289#issuecomment-1609087178 And 0.18.1 RC1 has been tagged https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/releases/tag/0.18.1-rc.1
Damn, that sucks. Is manual approving + email not enough for the time being?
EDIT: I see that in the GitHub issue you linked, you answer this question. TLDR: No, it is not enough it seems.

It's just me or comments posted from this instance to instances in 0.18 don't appear to be syncing?, It's that normal?
Not just you. There is something fishy with this instance's connections to other instances and vice-versa. I've been looking into it from the outside. Of all the connections made to my instance, about 80% fail negotiating TLS. I'm not a protocol expert, but it's ONLY lemmy.world and it's not a cipher issue, because it does OCCASIONALLY connect and post some updates.
Jerboa also won't work with Android older than 8.0 though that's less of a problem for server ops. But it still seems like reliance on unnecessary shiny tech. My 5yo Android 7 phone still works perfectly well and I plan to keep using it a while longer, so I can't use the official Lemmy app. I wonder how fundamental Jerboa's dependence on Android 8 is. Anyone know?

I have yet to find another app that is consistently reliable and feature rich. Should we just sign up for a different instance until lemmy.world is upgraded?
You might try Liftoff or Thunder. I am replying this from Thunder and its working fine for me. You can find both of these apps on f-droid.
I think Connect is the best one currently. A bunch of them are improving really fast though so that may change.
Is this why there's still a ton of slowness on Lemmy despite the slowness said to be resolved? Because I still can't efficiently use Lemmy, if I'm being honest.
Also, has the Top Day sorting become broken? A community will show as blank for me now when I sort by Top Day.

If your looking for another app to use in the mean time you can use https://wefwef.app if you add it to your homescreen it will work like a native app.
Jerboa just quit when I tried using it on Android - Pixel 5 w/Android 12. Wouldn't open at all, so I quit on it. Trying out Summit now
Also have that problem. V0.0.34 crashes, and V0.0.35 doesn't work with Lemmy.world, so I had to switch to Liftoff
Liftoff is awesome! So far, I really love that app
