Right now it's going to be for Lemmy, but the fediverse is still getting a fantastic app.

kbin lacks an API with an equivalent feature set. Ernest is aware of this and it's on the bug tracker. Any working apps for kbin are using site scraping as a temporary workaround. In layman's terms it means the app developer is doing a lot of extra work that will mostly get thrown away when the API rework is complete. Artemis is the only one currently doing this off the top of my head.

The developer of Pixelfed, @dansup, is working on a kbin app as well.
