I hope this isn’t a question that’s already been asked to death, in app search for “mbin” isn’t all that helpful.

I’m still in the stages of looking for a permanent home here in the fediverse. So far mbin has really caught my eye because it’s basically Lemmy+ for all intents and purposes (at least for mine). I’m not all that happy with what looks like the only Android app though.

So I was wondering if there were any plans to add mbin functionality to any existing Lemmy apps? Even if I used a Lemmy app solely for the ‘Threads’ or Lemmy section of mbin, then used the web page or only mbin app for everything else, I would be fine with that.

I tried to see if I could sign in with the app that I’m currently using (Eternity), with the kbin.earth instance and no luck. So obviously the API is just that much different.

Are any devs here thinking of expanding their apps in future? Or is there one I’ve missed? I’ve seen more than one app with the description “For Lemmy and the Fediverse”, but what exactly is meant by “and the Fediverse” is unclear.

    Very nice! I actually just checked it out in Firefox Android and it’s actually not that bad, not at all what I was picturing in terms of large images taking up more than the screen lol. It does have a couple of graphical oddities that go away with a refresh but I’ll maybe reply to that email that I got when I subscribed with screenshots, like it asked. Later when I’m doing stuff at my desk.

    So if it takes a while for the app or I’m not satisfied or whatever, it wouldn’t be too painful for me to just use Firefox until something better comes along.
