    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

    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

      How do you like connect? I’ve been using Jerboa but wouldn’t mind checking some others apps out

          yea each person has some certain favourite features that aren’t common on all apps.

        personally it is kinda superior to Jerboa, since it has a feature that is my favourite: keyword filter, but also i can browse instances that can be defederated from each other, all the fediverse in one app: could even browse hexbear.net (which is not federated with anyone yet), kbin.social, …all on the app (and can browse instances as a guest without an account, which makes things way eaiser. unlimited block list. no bugs. it was suggested to me and i keep suggesting it for others since i didnt regret using it.
