Thank you everybody! I ended up getting Jerboa, since it's available on F-Droid. It seems to work pretty well. I'll be trying all your other suggestions out as well.
Use Obtainium. Much better than F-Droid when it comes to apps like these that are constantly being updated.

From a productivity POV, Jerboa is the most developed & is built with one of the most secure languages (Kotlin) but from a security & privacy perspective browser (Eg. Mull-Fenix) is best suited, the constant login may be annoying but as long as you use a password manager it shouldn't be a hassle.
Nevertheless recommend downloading the update from the GitHub repository & use an RSS feed to constantly check for any development.
F-Droid has the tendency to take time to update the apps.
Regarding the RSS feed you need to generate one since GitHub doesn't make it easy with the type of link they used, Feedless (FOSS) will help with that.

As long as the app is storing the auth token received from the lemmy instance securely it makes no difference whether you login once or multiple times.
