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.

@Kleysley I did . . . but I don't know how to properly log in.

Open sidebar, touch "Anonymous", you'll see "Add Account"

@sandayle Right, but when I put kbin.social as the instance, CobraA1 as the username, and my password, it says Incorrect Login.

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))

@Xenanthropy kbin isn't lemmy, but kbin can interact with lemmy.

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.
