Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Yeah, the latter. There is an API, but I think it was only released in the last month or so. I'm not sure to what extent it's complete.
A kbin instance can be downloaded as a PWA, and it works decent.
As for third party apps there's Lunar, iOS only. Haven't tried it.
There was also Artemis. It had the best UI/UX design I've ever seen. Unfortunately the dev appears to have vanished.
Before the API, I think they were web scraping.
That's definitely not true, they had an API back in September when I looked into adding support for it
They didn't have an sdk, but the API most certainly has been around for a while
You're correct. I misunderstood. The API has indeed been around for a while.
The main instance (kbin.social) only started using it around a month ago: https://kbin.social/m/kbinDevlog/t/642285/kbin-RTR-19-Summary-of-current-work-and-plans-for-the
Apologies for the confusion.
Ah... That I didn't know, I read through the documentation to see how hard it would be, but I never tried to use it
If that's true, I see your point... That's not nearly as bad as not having an API, but it's still a deal breaker
