Can’t really make apps for a site that doesn’t have an API. They did announce recently that Kbin’s API is nearly done, so soon there’ll be a flood of Kbin apps as well, and support for Kbin in all of the Lemmy apps too
It would be great if someone created a fediverse browser native app. Log into all the platforms and add a translation layer to create a truly unique experience.
Maybe it would only make sense if you could authenticate one account on all the activitypub platforms?
I understand the amount of technical hurdles and maintenance to do so. I suppose I find the thought of experiencing them combined intriguing. If someone created A single app experience, in a intuitive way, I’d definitely give it a try.
I can see lemmy posts on mastidon. Would be kind of cool if it could handle that and display those posts using a lemmy ui. But making it seamless.
Yeah I suppose not all of them will want to commit to supporting Kbin, but some definitely will. Honestly though, so long as it’s possible to search for and subscribe to Kbin magazines from Lemmy, that’s all I really care about.
You can install the kbin interface as a PWA on mobile, and it works pretty well. There are some kinks for sure, but it’s 100% usable and better than lemmy.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
Rules:
Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Very much doubt. I’m sure many will but not all. The API isn’t identical so they’d have to commit to maintaining both.

If nothing else, the Sync developer said he’d do it.
nice, that’s the one I’ve been hoping for the most!
Came here to say that… Take your upvote, good sir…
Memmy dev said they plan to as well but “not within this year” if I recall correctly.
Kbinites unite!!
@Nitrate55 I can’t wait to be able to use Kbin on the go, I’m really gonna have nothing be done at that point

Firefox and toggle to desktop site works well for me.
