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!

Kbin mixes them and I haven't noticed any problem with that, despite being a user who has no interest whatsoever in the Twitter-like side of things.

Kbin actually presents me with a "follow" option when I view your profile. I've never tried that so I don't know what it does. Here in the Fediverse I don't think it's going to be possible to prohibit others from adding features. You just have the option to not use those features yourself.

As far as I can tell, following someone via Kbin is for either getting their microblog posts (Mastodon-style) or for more generally getting their activity federated to your instance (if it’s like the general ActivityPub concept).
