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!

I'm on kbin and have subscribed in this way to Ernest, the admin of kbin.social, but still don't ever see any notifications about anything when he posts. I always just find them naturally while scrolling the front page because everyone else boosts the hell out of his posts.

So either I'm an idiot or the feature is currently nonfunctional. Pretty solid 50/50 odds.

That because following only gets you their microblog posts. Posts to their own feed.

You don't get to see all the posts they make to magazines, which is what I assume Ernest is doing, posting to some announcement mag.

Edit: hm, no, maybe you need to enable it in settings? Or is there some other feed for the people you follow?
