Looks like it will take some time to figure it out, but the developer ljdawson is looking into Lemmy support for sync.
This app is so smooth, and caching posts and comments for offline use while on the plane or in low reception areas is a clutch feature for me.
Will it work for us kbin folks,or will we need to make a lemmy account on one of the instances?
He’s just learning about Lemmy and the fediverse today so I imagine in the alpha version it won’t but things could change later.
If he’s learning about Lemmy and kbin together than it would seem that implementing both would be higher probability
Kbin is very new, and the api is not very documented, so I imagine it’d be pretty hard to make an app for kbin for now.
Somebody knows how different are the APIs between Lemmy and Kbin?
You should be able to make a Lemmy account, subscribe to the Kbin magazines you want via the Lemmy acct, then sign in via the Lemmy account. That’s what makes federation cool.
Your profile, stats, etc wouldn’t carry over though, as Lemmy and Kbin are separate but interoperable apps.
Unless they don’t federate you’ll be able to pick it up.
This is what I’m wondering as well, I don’t mind making a Lemmy account in addition to Kbin. But if compatibility across the two is a feasible feature, it would really join together the communities
