I am not familiar with fediverse apps, but you could pick the feed for a given user, put in a RSS reader, and open new entries if the app can pick links for a given instance.
As for the feed itself, for example, for your profile directly on Lemmy World, it's the signal icon to the right of the interrogation symbol at the bottom has the link for it, and you put the link in the RSS reader:
RSS feeds are a way to receive posts without having to access a site directly.
The "RSS reader", a program to display posts fetched from RSS feeds, usually gets new posts through the feed's link you provide.
This link updates the contents it delivers each time a new post is made.
RSS readers often have the option to open a post's original link through your default browse or a custom browser.
If the app you use can open links from Lemmy, a functionality from Android apps, you can use the RSS reader to get new posts from users you want to follow.
Does it make more sense now? Not asking angrily, btw. (absence of tone in text is a bit of a PITA "<.< )
Alternatively, to follow users, you could try using Friendica and/or Mbin. Both are compatible with Lemmy communities, and can follow users as well. However, I am not aware of any apps for them, meaning you'd need to use them on browsers.
Okay let me get this, so RSS feeds get posts without having access to the site, but how do they differ from the app I use “Thunder”, like from what I understand the RSS reader is an app aswell, and you somehow embed I believ certain links into it so it auto fetches them? Or like embed communities and it auto gets posts?
