Working hard on it! Can’t wait for API to go live to make it widely available.
I wrote an API adapter layer to be able to support both kbin and lemmy in the app. Want to open source that as a package, so hopefully more apps can easily add support for both 🤞
already got my own test instance with the changes running. THIS IS SUCH A KILLER KBIN FEATURE! You the boss!
And of course, it's a setting (off by default). Plus early stages, so expect it to evolve :)
When browsing your subs, it'll sprinkle posts you haven't seen from communities you don't follow. Helping you discover the fediverse from the comfort of Home.
Ikr? Nice short rollercoaster 😂
Def subscribe to /m/ArtemisApp magazine. We’re just starting our staged rollout to beta testers who signed up. With a public beta aimed for end of month.
Thanks for the shoutout! App is coming along!
a video and pics of current alpha build.
And see this toot, of me having fun with force touch to preview links :p
Not much love for Kbin! </3
But I get it, without an official API, it's a lot of work to get one going. I just refuse to use Lemmy, so I'm committed on getting a Kbin app ASAP. We're just about to have alpha.1 build ready and it's pretty darn usable.
Plugging our magazine here:

EDIT: me not going w Lemmy was due to devs. I still think it’s a viable platform for the fediverse, especially with all the instances out there besides theirs (and being open source). Kbin being completely separated just felt like the right choice for me when picking between the two.
Ive been thinking about customizations like that while working on it. I want localization, so everything already has right to left support. I can use that piping to help w moving arrows.
Also, youll be able to double tap to vote ;)
(Community muting is a must for sure)
Developing as x-plat codebase. And we have an equal split of beta testers across platform. So wanna prioritize em equally!
in the coming weeks there will be some waves of rollouts to testers. Hopefully we’ll go public not far from there :)
Dev here! I’ll be taking a look at all the suggestions here for those that can’t vote on the toot itself :)
API is almost done! Been using an internal build of the app that uses Artemis’ kbin instance with those changes. And oh god is so much better 👌
So we’re nearing a point where apps for kbin will start popping up ✨
