If you prefer an open source app, native, complete, with a decent UI and an active developer community, the official one is definitely the best. And I mean Jerboa, because it is the official client made by the very same people that are making Lemmy (so always compatible and up-to-date with the server development).
Otherwise, if you don't mind using a closed source app, Summit is the most feature rich one and it is maintained by a professional industry-level native Android developer who really knows what he's doing.
Finally, if you want to experiment with a cross platform app, open source and well maintained, with a really nice user interface, have a try with Thunder.

It's still too early to tell anything, hope they come back too!
The Lemmy ecosystem is weird because there are so many Lemmy tools maintained by a single person yet at the same time the majority of Lemmy's user base is tech-savy (we're mostly nerds working in the IT field) and we should be inclined to collaboration rather than competition, considering the amount of criticism about western capitalism here.
The reason may be that many projects started out as experiments/for fun, or that we are unwelcoming to new contributors, who knows...
I agree in that the failure to address socio-economic issues by who has been in charge until now fuels the resentment/frustration/urge for "quick and dirty" solutions people are looking for in alt-right parties. Until they realize having been deceived because things change for the worse and, which is more important, the establishment is not going to change.
It is a country without future, and there is no hope for the situation to improve any time soon. Extremely low wages, no affordable housing, healthcare unavailable and poor access to education/services in general but high taxation. It would be crazy to expect anyone to plan to have a family!

It's not a "fine" but a XIX century protectionistic measure which is unlikely to help anyone (except making people poorer because higher prices mean higher expenditure for consumers). And from here to the next inflation spiral there is just a small step...
I don't think there is a solution for European economy. Better be prepared for the worst rather than living with the illusion that these tricks may work.
And if imported goods have cheap prices due to ignoring labor rights, worker safety and environmental protection it is acceptable... This is hypocrite and really does not deserve further comments.
A popular way of dealing with discussions, and familiar to most people, I assume. As far as I see it, adding a poll system to Lemmy is a good way to enhance user engagement. I'm not really aware if this has been a topic before or not, tried looking it up but didn't see much juice on the topic, so thought I'd spark it up....
Personally, I would be in favor of having polls because I frequently involve people in taking decisions.
But my use case is quite peculiar because (1) I need to know people's opinion to take actions based on it, they would not be just informative polls (2) this group of people use Lemmy as their main interaction medium, no other platform is involved.
I've resorted to strawpoll in the past or in having comments with multiple options and relying on the most upvoted comment but these solutions have downsides.
Italian here: our "centre right" is actively on restricting abortion, dismantling public healthcare and education, deportation of immigrants, isolation of disabled students, eliminating LGBT rights and militarizing public spaces (with already students/protesters beaten by the police in several occasions) and of course jailing journalists and controlling the public media.
The only thing that sets them apart from their US equivalent is child labor, but they already have prevented the approval of minimum wages and other social safety net measures.
An option for me to buy a house has come up very suddenly and it seemed like a good idea at first - but I look at a mortgage and think "that's 15 years I'll spend paying back, at absolute minimum. Probably more like 25 years" - how can I possibly plan that far in advance?...
But the price of the property can decrease, so it's better considering an asset with a stable value over time (given the area, energetic efficiency, etc.).
And not only will prices skyrocket, but also (at least in countries that allow it) agriculture businesses will take public money as restoration for the loss.
