A single app that would be able to show all federated social media content like lemmy,kbin, Mastodon, pixelfed, misskey and perhaps even the coding ones too ( each repo could have a lemmy like community for help, news, updates,etc). Imagine if it only required a single account to interact with all these platforms.
IMO, its a more logical approche to the Fediverse. All platforms easily accessible and intractable with a single app. The burdens to the app developer would be huge but it would revolutionize social media forever.
This is sort of the mission statement of Kbin. Kbin supports Lemmy, Mastodon, FireFish, and Pixelfed already. It’s planned to support PeerTube (this used to work but broke) and Mobilizon.
That’s the main reason why I have a Kbin account. :)
Id reeeeaally like to combine mastodon and anything else, I find microblogging so boring
I didn’t hear much about kbin before using lemmy, saw it only linked once and i thought it was kinda ugly. But if it’s as you say, then we why aren’t devs flocking to improve it like with lemmy ? You comment convinced me to make an account there. Is there a piracy,tech, privacy related kbin instance ?
It’s written in PHP, which a lot of devs dislike.
It is drowning in pull requests: 83 open as of right now. https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls
Ernest (the lead dev) wasn’t really expecting it to blow up yet. Kbin was created in January of this year, and the first “major” instance was launched in May. It blew up basically instantly due to Reddit imploding, and Ernest has been playing catch-up.
But it still has rough edges - no API means no mobile apps. Lots of bugs and such from being a new project. It’s improving every week (including an API in code review), but Lemmy is more polished and has an relatively mature API.
You can see a list of instances here: https://fedidb.org/software/kbin
As far as I know, there isn’t specifically a privacy-focused instance like what Lemmy has. But I also didn’t browse that list of instances too closely.
While true there is the Artemis app for Kbin. Due to the API issue it only supports their .camp instance for accounts. It’s a beautiful app
When I tried it out it was slooowww. GUI designers should focus on making software usable, not “sleek”
Let’s you login to lemmy to?
No. In GitHub they say Mastodon /pleroma and misskey and hope to add more.
I like how it shows the POST first pretty cool
Sorry i don’t understand what you mean. Images didn’t load for me since my net is really sluggish recently so if you’re referring to something in them i didn’t see it.
