Yes, there’s a decent (albeit bare bones) Android client. The web interface is about to have a major update, but at the moment is pants.
I’m bridging my main Mastodon account with bluesky, but I’m fully expecting this service to disappear soon enough. I remember when Twitter, Facebook, and a bunch of other sites allowed crossposting until someone realised they were driving traffic away from their own site and shut it down. I think it was Facebook. I can’t remember. Same is likely to happen here, or they’ll charge an exorbitant fee for API access like Reddit. For now though, it kinda works.

Also way harder to propagate mis/disinformation to push an agenda. I personally see that as a benefit and not something I want to see changed.
