Neet it is kbin though right ?
close, using mbin. the fork seemed like a more reliable/continual development process.
If i may ask why not lemmy?
i went surfing for server applications about 8 months ago in an effort to replace my reddit addiction.
lemmy had 2 marks against it: a. its fugly b. does not interact with 50% of the fediverse... it cant use the 'microblog/twitter' side of the fediverse.
kbin at the time was one of the few products attempting both the Threaded forums, and Microblog posting, so i jumped in to that. a short time later kbin was forked for.. development conflict reasons. i went with mbin.
so i now have a fairly scalable, reliable reddit replacement where i can doomscroll all day and see nonsense tweets from george takei.
im hoping to provide the same for other reddit refugees
I don't think they have any android apps yet do they ? I think even kbin does'nt have any .
this is where my age is going to show...
im not an 'app' person, so i have no idea. i do know there were several in active development, but i just have not cared.
firefox on my phone seems to do exactly what i need to with regards to mbin (or reddit even), so i have never, ever understood the need for a site-specific app.
i kinda thought thats why we spent 20 years making 'reflexive' websites designed to be scalable to different sized screens
Its just conveniant to use apps and when lemmy apps just take little to no space and can switch between account, have better UI, faster reflex as in backing clicking without needing to load it etc etc its just better to use it atleast in my opinion and some websites are not properly made for phones . But if it works for you no problem
i think my basic use of the sites negates the need for any app. i dont 'do' a lot. i could see maybe if i performed a ton of actions, or as you mentioned, using any alts.
ive never had/needed alt accounts so, also that is also somewhat foreign to me.
I don't have alts anywhere except lemmy because it is kinda needed here because some instances block others and all
