Interesting, I recently downloaded the android app to see if there was anything interesting for me, but there they wouldn't let you past without signing up

That's not true. I use the app without an account.
Huh? When I open it it asks me to sign up or sign in and I didn't see a skip option, am I just blind?
It must be a really recent change in that case. For me the prompt to sign-up only comes up when I click on follow, a live stream or when trying to post a comment.
