I tried one called Lemmur that I downloaded off F-Droid, however, it can not find this instance (lemmy.world). I want one that's open-source, and preferably from F-Droid (because screw Google). Which one do you guys use?

Jerboa should be the recommendation based on what you are looking for.

Open source, saw someone else mention they got it on whatever F-droid is, stable af (0 crashes on pixel5).

Bonuses, it has buttons, looks clean, runs smooth, swiping isn't obsfucating UX/UI as it does expected things like going back. (wefwef is painful if you can't get behind IOS UI chicanery)

F-Droid is like the play store, but with all FOSS apps. You have to side load it, and then it essentially side loads all the apps you want from it's store. Its pretty neat!
