I've always liked Kbin's design and funcionality more than Lemmy, but the latter is more popular and sometimes posts/comments won't load properly on Kbin, so I've stuck with Lemmy for now.

    Everyone in this thread is suggesting Mbin, so I might try that. Sounds like it's a fork of Kbin that actually solved a ton of its federation issues with Lemmy.

    I spend most of my time on kbin.run now, one of the mbin forks.

    Does it have a mobile app? That's the main way I use Lemmy now.

    Yes, there's Interstellar.

    What is it with the Google store that I constantly have to send the browser tab to my phone to then open the URL in the app to be able to find apps like this? If I try to search for them they simply don't show up.

    Edit: Can't really login through Interstellar either...

    Maybe because Google doesn't think it's popular enough, I've noticed that too though. The search does work if you search the app id directly though, like one.jwr.interstellar.

    If you're trying to login to your fedia account, I've noticed that server doesn't seem to work (which is why it's not in the recommended instances section). It's probably an issue with how they setup the api (you'll notice other mbin instances work with interstellar just fine).

    Maybe @jerry knows what's going on? Is it possible oauth client creation is restricted to admins on fedia?

    Ok, I checked and creating new oauth clients is not restricted to administrators. I am trying to find a way to run interstellar so I can test and figure out what is wrong.

    Is there a port of interstellar to Linux or Windows? Unfortunately I don’t have any android devices to test with.

    Edit: never mind. I found them

    If you like Kbin's design you may enjoy Alexandrite, a frontend for Lemmy

    I found the Lemmy frontends to be all kinda crappy and lacking in options. Alexandrite for example aligns its content to the far left side of the screen, which is super annoying on a widescreen monitor, which are like almost all desktop monitors nowadays. It also does not show any NSFW / 18+ marked thumbnails, just some hyperlink symbol. Thumbnails are also very small and do not fill out their available space in compact mode like they do on kbin / mbin.
