The amount of apps being developed for iOS / Android is getting really crazy now and new apps keep popping up every day. Updated list below:

Artemis (iOS, Android, kbin, lemmy): link
Kbam (iOS, kbin, lemmy): link
Memmy (iOS, lemmy): link
Mlem (iOS, lemmy): link
Morpha (iOS, lemmy): link
Thunder (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
Beyond (iOS, Android, kbin, lemmy): link
Jerboa (Android, lemmy): link
Slide (Android, lemmy): link
Sync (Android, lemmy): link
Connect (Android, lemmy): link
Summit (Android, lemmy): link
Lemon (iOS, lemmy): link
Liftoff (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
Boost (Android, lemmy): link
Bean (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
WefWef (Web App, lemmy): link

Most apps on the list are lemmy apps, meaning they don't work with kbin. Artemis is specifically designed to work with kbin, not sure if or when any of the other ones will go in that direction or become interoperable as there are some challenges with the kbin API at the moment. Having said that, a new API is in the works (https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/357) so things should get better with time.

Some of the apps are in a very early stage of development so it may happen that they adjust OS availability and platform support.

Tankies? Not familiar with that one.

I signed up for kbin because it was easier to understand. Lemmy looked neat but figuring out which instance to join was hard. As for the developers supporting China… well, Lemmy is open source and the whole point is to make something where you don’t have to agree with the people running it.

There are alleged members of the communist party who are mods at lemmy.ml, or some kind of Chinese state apologists. Those who seek freedom of speech should be forewarned of this.

how about any lol, any major instance is ok

and yeah lemmy is open source, there's a lemmy instance for every point on the political spectrum, devs being commies makes no difference for the end result which is a very diverse (fe)diverse

Do they have right to be commies? Sure.

Do I have right not to use their project because of that? You betcha! Especially since there is good (if not better) alternative (kbin)
