[–] astrsk@kbin.social 36 points 2 years ago (3 children) Hello from /Kbin permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] SeedyOne@lemm.ee 17 points 2 years ago* (2 children) I love kbin but being a one man show and lacking API it was never really going to be the replacement. I am, however, glad to have it as one of a handful of smaller alternatives and a sort of cousin to Lemmy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] jonne@infosec.pub 4 points 2 years ago (2 children) If it doesn't have an API, how do I still see posts from it in my feed? Do you mean it integrates with the fediverse, but only has a web interface for now (ie. no apps)? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] tourist@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yeah, the latter. There is an API, but I think it was only released in the last month or so. I'm not sure to what extent it's complete. A kbin instance can be downloaded as a PWA, and it works decent. As for third party apps there's Lunar, iOS only. Haven't tried it. There was also Artemis. It had the best UI/UX design I've ever seen. Unfortunately the dev appears to have vanished. Before the API, I think they were web scraping. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) That's definitely not true, they had an API back in September when I looked into adding support for it They didn't have an sdk, but the API most certainly has been around for a while permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] tourist@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) You're correct. I misunderstood. The API has indeed been around for a while.

That I didn't know, I read through the documentation to see how hard it would be, but I never tried to use it If that's true, I see your point... That's not nearly as bad as not having an API, but it's still a deal breaker permalink fedilink source parent [–] SeedyOne@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago The API is new but took time and effort, it just wasn't available at the time. permalink fedilink source parent [–] theneverfox@pawb.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) It has an API, has for a while now permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SeedyOne@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago It didn't at the time I'm speaking of. permalink fedilink source parent [–] pineapplelover@infosec.pub 9 points 2 years ago Kbin is just lemmy+mastadon iirc permalink fedilink source parent [–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago Takkun? permalink fedilink source parent
