Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

The user in this screenshot is just an example. I'd love to be able to receive updates when my favourite users post. Also, this has been a great app to use, and I'm looking forward to future development!

Edit: Thank you for the feedback! Hopefully we'll see this implemented on lemmy and then supported through api.

No. Thats not how Lemmy works. Reddit added this feature a while back to make it more like other social media sites.

We dont need to emulate that.

Mastodon is designed for following individual people.

Lemmy is designed for following communities. Mixing one with the other now will only slow development and confuse new users.

I think it is creepy to be followed. As long as it's opt in.
