With seemingly at least one new app announced per day....

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

before the whole reddit clusterfuck and blackout started I created both kbin and lemmy accounts. One of those is just gathering dust

If only kbin had an API...

I'm about to launch a Lemmy app (by Monday, my friend yelled at me when he found out I'd been using it exclusively for weeks without putting up a beta), and kbin support is on my to-do list.

Frankly, I started using Lemmy, saw this could be the thing I've been waiting for, and decided the edges were too rough. So I made the app I always wanted for Reddit with the goal of using multiple servers, multiple accounts seamlessly. My guiding philosophy is making the client into another layer of federation,

I checked out the kbin docs and I can probably knock it out in a couple days, I've got abstraction layers to handle different versions and forks of Lemmy... Head over to !flemmy@lemmy.world and let me know this is something people want and I'll put it higher on the priority list

It's not 3rd party app developers fault that kbin didn't have any stable api yet. Now that they fast track the api development, I think we can expect more 3rd party apps coming soon.

Kbin should have prioritised their API rather than adding microblogging to a platform that didn’t need it.

These things take time and once KBin releases its API, the mobile apps will start flowing.

I'm pretty excited for that and will give KBin a try once that happens.

Whoever ends up doing so should set up the interface so that Lemmy posts are blue and kbin posts green, that way Lemmy users can downvote us and call us poor.

There is nothing to do because kbin hasn't released a working api yet

I still have absolutely no idea what the difference between lemmy, kbin and mastodon is.

Lenny’s API is really approachable and Kbins is still WIP

The API is going through code review right now!

Connect for Lemmy, connects them all

Yeah I left Kbin for this purpose.

Is kbin not lemmy? I can subscribe to kbin communities through my Lemmy instance though?

Personally can't wait for Artemis to come out by the description it sounds very much like an 3rd Party App that I would love to death

What even is the difference? The only thing I saw different was the UI compared to most Lemmy instances viewed through a browser.

I don't think I'd bother with a kbin app anyway - I'm fine with the way it is already.

If the API gets released, I might look into developing a desktop/mobile app. All relatively low-level, no electron app bullshit

I can't wait to be unhinged on kbin as well <3 .

I don't understand the people who want apps.

I'm not looking for an argument - you do you. But I don't understand your desire to install things.

I honestly don’t really get why people use Lemmy. Kbin has a much better interface and is way less buggy. The PWA acts as a great app so I’m really kind of flummoxed. Also the users are cooler.
