god damn i want a native kbin app!
Artemis was supposed to be coming this week, no word yet.
You also have to use it from the artemis.camp instance, but that's temporary until the kbin api is finished.
The underlying protocol is identical to Lemmy I thought. Why can't you use any of the apps already?
the protocol that allows instances to communicate is, but AFAIK there’s an API that apps use… the protocol is kinda just for how to push raw bulk data around, whilst the instance itself does things like filter based on “top”, “hot”, etc
also, in activitypub things like the actor (user), each comment, post, etc are individual objects which must be requested individually (or in a list via a search i think?), so any app that communicates via activitypub would need to make hundreds of requests to the instance to display a single post, comments, and user information!
