#kbin has managed to pike my interest.
It’s far from perfect and missing many features, but it does looks promising.
The biggest drawback is the lack of mobile app yet. The mobile browser experience ain’t bad though.
Regarding the /[email protected] example, it looks so much better than the bunch of @s we have now!
It has more to do with implemented compatibility I’d day.
It’s clear that once Kbin has a public API, many lemmy apps will probably offer compatibility, like Sync for example.
Artemis is the other way around, it’s being developed for kbin, and it will add Lemmy compatibility down the line.
I imagine eventually the kbin apps will flesh out the microblogging aspect of it as well and allow better interface with mastodon.
