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!

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.

There is absolutely no reason that a community based system should follow users. This is something reddit only did to try and get "influencers" and drive ad revenue. Not having any of that crap is what made reddit great in the first place.

That's a bad take. There are some users that regularly write outstanding content or even just a series of posts that you don't want to miss the next installment of. Examples on Reddit were /u/Gambatte in /r/TalesFromTechSupport and /u/SqwrlTail in /r/TalesFromTheFrontDesk

Just have them create their own magazine/community and post there.

Then you can subscribe to the Community/Magazine.

Easy Peasy... I think, I still don't really understand this enough to speak 100% confidently, but from what I think I understand it should be.

They're just basically subreddits right?

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.
