Thanks! Seems like the official Mastodon app lets you search and follow users on here, as well as comment on posts, but not make posts or follow communities… interesting.
Edit: actually, looks like you can follow communities. They show up as reblogs/retweets on the original post owned by the user. This opens up some interesting possibilities, if all you want to do is follow specific communities and comment on them.
The messages page is just a placeholder right now, that would probably need to be finished before notifications are possible.

I’m sorry - we had to remove your post because you didn’t choose the correct flair out of a possible 3,000 esoteric choices, you didn’t format your post title according to the instructions located on a stone carving in the British Museum, your image had an even number of pixels, and/or you haven’t provided verification pics, a notarized letter, and three character references to our mod team. Please do not try again and have a good day [this action was performed by a bot]

It would be nice if you could sort by number of users/posts to see the most popular communities.
I would love to see the person who made Apollo for reddit develop a Lemmy app. MLEM is not bad but obviously barebones as it’s still in beta
Honestly this has been coming for a long time. They did this once before with Alien Blue, this is going to be the breaking point for a ton of people. It’s just sad to see them making the exact same mistakes digg made, back when reddit was the good guy.
A lot of sites like these are already just click farms with “articles” consisting of a headline and a couple poorly-researched sentences. Switching to AI probably won’t significantly change the quality of what they’re churning out.
