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:

Artemis (Kmoon) (iOS, Android): /c/ArtemisApp@kbin.social

Memmy (iOS, Android): /c/memmy@lemmy.ml

Mlem (iOS - TestFlight): /c/mlemapp@lemmy.ml

Morpha (iOS, Android): /c/morpha@vlemmy.net

Thunder (iOS, Android): /c/thunder_app@lemmy.world

Beyond (iOS, Android): https://beehaw.org/post/647773

Liftoff (FOSS) (iOS/Android, Download on GitHub & on TestFlight): /c/liftoff@lemmy.world

Jerboa (Android - Released): (Play Store) https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa

Slide (Android): https://lemmy.world/post/379068

Sync (Android): /c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world

Connect (Android - Beta): https://beehaw.org/post/698247

Lemon (iOS): https://lemm.ee/post/127800

Summit (Android - Released): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idunnololz.summit

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:

Is there one currently usable that actually works for kbin?

[–] CMLVI@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not currently. And I think the kbin app is actually this, kbin uses /m/ I think? Or maybe I'm just wrong lol

[–] kill@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're not wrong. The problem is that these links only work on Lemmy.

[–] LollerCorleone@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They are working for me on kbin.

[–] cutitdown@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Odd, not for me on kbin. Hmm

[–] fraydabson@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I recommend using your browser and install the Kbin Enhancement Script. Makes it a bit better like collapsing comments. https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/468612-kbin-enhancement-script

[–] Cloudless@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Does the script work on Android? Which browser?

[–] Shiroa@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

The Android version of Firefox supports add-ons. Check if any of the monkey script plugins are compatible (greasemonkey, tampermonkey, violentmonkey)

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"

[–] cutitdown@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I can't get it to work for me. I did the add to home screen but it just opens up in a chrome tab for me.

Edit: Turns out I had to disable AdGuard temporarily and then kbin's install app banner popped up and that worked. Only issue is it doesn't respect my device's do-not-rotate setting, but I know somebody has added that as an issue so hopefully will be fixed pulled in to the codebase soon.

No clue what any other kbins are doing

unified frontend software, they're all doing the same thing afaik

[–] Leftbones@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Which is closest to Apollo?

I don’t really like Memmy, I can’t get into Mlem because the beta is closed, right now I’m on Limbo and it’s alright.

[–] darknavi@vlemmy.net 2 points 2 years ago

Mlem is fairly close (or at least going in that direction)

[–] god@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

the kbin one by Hariette, she says, is based on Apollo. She says this here: https://tech.lgbt/@hariette/110562926792208789

I don't know if any other is based on apollo, as u can see on the table i have only had time to go through 3 of the links, feel free to check out all the links and lmk if there's one closer to apollo for lemmy

[–] nxlemmy@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Hopefully she open sources it, the screenshots look great.

[–] Lilkev@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Artemis is heavily inspired by Apollo, even in the name!

[–] nxlemmy@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Artemis and Mlem so far.

Is the link to Artemis wrong or did it get deleted?

[–] Lilkev@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Working fine for me, but I'm on kbin.social

[–] god@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
