I'm totally new to this, but I thought this might be a good place to ask: Is there an Android app I can use to access kbin? I have the website pinned to my home screen for now, but the touch targets are a bit tiny and it doesn't seem well optimized for mobile. Also any tips and tricks on . . . this whole Fediverse thing would be great. Still trying to wrap my head around it.
Still figuring it all out myself. Idk how to cross post and Idk where the post went, but here is a link to a wiki explaining a bunch of things about the fediverse: https://joinfediverse.wiki/Main_Page
Edit: also I'm using Jerboa and am liking it so far, it's still a little buggy and not quite as QoL as Sync for Reddit was, but there is potential especially if lemmy/kbin/fediverse gets bigger and bigger from all the redditor migration.
I could be wrong but as far as I know, kbin isn't Lemmy. Jerboa only supports Lemmy (although you can make an account on a Lemmy instance and subscribe to kbin magazines, though) ((related GitHub issue here))
I'm not an expert on the various protocols involved, but it's possible that the common protocol used to federate kbin and lemmy are different from the protocol used to log in to a lemmy or kbin instance. So it's possible Jerboa doesn't support logging into kbin (but would still show content from kbin instances).
@owenfromcanada the actual sites themselves are different so yeah. the way you log in and interact with them is probably different, despite their interconnectivity.
There isn't yet, but I think they're working on one. In the mean time the consensus is just to add the website to your homescreen as it is supposedly pretty decent on mobile.
