I'd like a general "follow people" app, where I get an easily navigable interface (i.e. not just a dump) of posts on twitter, facebook, hacker news...

  That's doable with a RSS feed service. Some providers which support reading twitter, youtube and other popular feeds without any setup. https://www.inoreader.com/ https://www.inoreader.com/ https://feedbin.com/ https://feedbin.com/ https://feedly.com https://feedly.com If there are sources that they don't support, you can host your own rsshub instance or use the default. https://rsshub.app/ https://rsshub.app/ Happy to help you get this set up.

    Thanks, I'm a pretty heavy RSS user, mostly with regular desktop clients. Where my usage pattern is pretty much a single dump for everything and just quickly scrolling through the 100-200 updates/day, scanning some, reading others, postponing some by opening them in browser tabs (I still habitually check "loadDivertedInBackground" in Firefox' config, even years after google reader ceasing to exist). I don't even categorize the feeds. But for a comprehensive, all sources in one app, I'd want even more than categorization. I'd want different reading modes (concatenate tweets, leave other articles alone), maybe an expose-like overview to quickly filter, some intelligent ranking etc. rsshub seems interesting though. Can it do hackernews user's posts?
