There are now close to 10 iOS / Android apps in development for kbin & lemmy!

3 years ago by God to c/main

cross-posted from: https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/71764

link to post: https://sh.itjust.works/post/311799

The amount of apps being developed for iOS / Android is getting really crazy now and new apps keep popping up every day. Updated list below:

Most apps on the list are lemmy apps, meaning they don't work with kbin. Artemis is specifically designed to work with kbin, not sure if or when any of the other ones will go in that direction or become interoperable as there are some challenges with the kbin API at the moment. Having said that, a new API is in the works so things should get better with time.

I made a neat table, here u go:

I'm working on a notifications screen tonight. Shouldn't be too long before I push an update with those.

And along with that I've opened up another project for push notifications. I hope to have that off the ground and working within the next week.

And I'd love to be able to right swipe to get to the post(s) I visited before (Apollo has it for example). Just a suggestion OFC. All in all I'm really enjoying the app and I'm looking forward to seeing how it will progress 👌🏼.

for a lil while at least, june 30 will probably bring another mass exodus, including sync users, let's see how it goes, afterwards i imagine that there'll be a small push and then things will calm down a bit cuz rn it's exploding due to a mass publicity campaign that won't be there when reddit's already committed app-genocide

Thanks for putting this together!

Things are getting pretty solid. I'm using it as my main without issues right now. Even on v0.18.x instances.

I hope someone developes something with a compact view like RIF had. Using jerboa right now and I'm not really comfortable with it. Also for some reason it doesnt support T9 input so thats sad too.

Hoping they approve this sometime today. Surprised it's taken this long, but I have a feeling the fact it's a "social media" app is what might get it held up for a bit. We will see though. Apple was much better about this.

As far as the compact view, I'm definitely taking feedback on this right now since frankly I don't ever use that sort of view anyway. Not sure exactly what people want to see. Let me know!

Thanks for sharing. Adding a screenshot showing the formatting bar

Basically theres a lot more content present on the screen.

The "reply"/"comment" implementation isnt that great because it pops up a new box on screen hiding the comment/post i'm replying to behind it, so here i think jerboa's implementation is nicer.

You can change the default Jerboa view. It's not quite the same and compact as RIF, but you can at least get it so it doesn't auto show pictures and stuff.

Try "Settings" > "Look and feel" > "List"

thesanewriter 13 points 3 years ago

KBin and Lemmy are both federated link aggregators (a link aggregator in this case is a type of forum website, like Reddit). They both federate using the ActivityPub standard, so servers running Lemmy and KBin are able to talk to each other and share information, at the server level they speak the same language. However, they are separate pieces of software and therefore have different data APIs (special URLs that user software can use to network with a server), and because of that any Lemmy/KBin app has to come up with separate functions to interact with Lemmy vs. KBin. Let me know if you have any questions or if anything I said didn't make sense.

Seems they will stay on reddit due to an "accessibility exemption" because a lot of blind people use it. And that lemmy is part of. The "long term vision". I won't count on that until I see a verification. However, it seems to be open source so if any lemmy devs make PRs we could accelerate this "long term vision" and bring it ourselves to Lemmy and then the dev, I imagine, would support it.

@Cloudless only if the browser takes userscripts, there's a few that do. I use Kiwi Browser so I'll just tell you how to do it there. You have to download the script with the name ending in .user.js and go to extensions click the button import and select it. And that's it, it works like an extension. I don't know if the script looks good on android cuz i haven't tested it tho but i have tested many other userscripts.

kbin.social has an "app" (at least on Android) but it's just chrome without a url bar. It's not bad, the site itself is pretty well optimized for mobile. No clue what any other kbins are doing.

Coolest thing I've found about it so far is that if you use a dark mode chrome extension and apply it to kbin.social it carries through to the "app"

I have no problem running PWAs for things, but I'm not an enormous fan of the Lemmy default browser interface either. It's not terrible, but currently I think Jerboa is better than it (just), and I'm keen to see other developers improve further on it. Some of the Reddit third party apps were very polished and feature-rich (compared to both Reddit's first party apps, Lemmy's first party interface, and Jerboa), so something of that calibre would be gratefully received.

There's an argument to be made that (because of the structure of Lemmy) new interfaces could and should be integrated with the main codebase as themes rather than as genuine third party API consumers, but from an end-user perspective that doesn't really make a difference either way.
