Apps talk to services via an API. Lemmy has an API, the one for kbin is still being figured out and isn’t enabled.

This is the only reason why kbin doesn’t have apps for it yet.

I think there was a kbin API and Ernest pulled it because he wanted to improve it. I think time will show that was a smart move. App developers need the API to be stable & unchanging; kbin can likely see how the Lemmy API is used by Apps, learn and improve from this.

We do know a new improved API is in the pipeline, and I agree with z2k, Apps will follow soon after.
