YSK that a lot of common questions/complaints about Lemmy are presently answered by kbin
This is not an attempt to convert Lemmy users, nor is it a slight on Lemmy. I'm sure there are plenty of reasons why Lemmy works better for some, and I love the fact that we not only have multiple choices, but multiple choices that allow us to interact with each other regardless! It's amazing. Lemmy is great, no shade.
With that said...
Why YSK: I see a lot of users posting frequent questions about Lemmy that are currently answered by kbin.
For example:
- The ability to block a whole domain, or subscribe to one
- The ability to subscribe to individual users
- A built-in search tool to find communities all over fedi (kbin, Lemmy, Mastodon groups, etc.) with an indication of how active they are
- Mitigation for the "tracking pixel" issue
I find that almost every day, I see Lemmy users asking about features and I think, "well, kbin does that." I think it would be worthwhile for more users to check into both platforms and decide which might be best for them.
You're viewing a single thread.
Are there any mobile apps for kbin?
No, Kbin hasn't released their own, or an API yet. I believe the developer is working to stop it crashing after the recent migrations, so has been mostly focused on that instead of the app.
I've been working on the API, and it is pretty much feature complete (barring feedback) and should be entering review very soon.
Amazing, thank you!
When I first started doing fediverse stuff I used kbin. The best mobile layout was to use mobile browsers with extension to enable “kbin enhancement script” which made the web interface much better.
Still not great though as voyager and memmy are the reasons I stopped using kbin
Not that I'm aware of. Better put, not any high quality ones that I'm aware of
There is an app on Testflight and Play Store at the moment.
But you won't be able to login yet, besides the test Kbin api server.
