I was sort of holding on to hope, that something would change. Unfortunately, nothing did and so, here I am.

I’m really liking kbin so far, so I’m looking forward to spending more time with you all over here. ❤️

    So you can sign up for a specific instance of lemmy or kbin, and then see and interact with any content from any other instance of the Fediverse, provided they have not defederated. Where things get a little weird is how upcoming apps will function. I was told that Sync for Lemmy will likely require you to have a Lemmy account to sign in, but will still allow you to browse and post to any Fediverse content. This may end up being just a short-term issue until developers can “line up API endpoints”, whatever the Treknobabble that means.

      What you’ve heard is right. If things keep progressing the way they are now, Kbin will also have mobile apps. It’s just that Kbin’s Application Programming Interface (API) isn’t finished yet. That’s what app developers need in order to easily make an app for Kbin. Lemmy does have an API, so that’s where most of the app development is taking place right now.

      But Kbin will make it’s API available and there will be mobile apps for Kbin. I’m aware of at least one app that’s already in development, Artemis. The developer has a magazine here with a pinned FAQ: /m/Artemis.
