@ShadowRam, you're not the only one having that problem on kbin.social. It's also been happening for me (and probably everyone else). I'm sure ernest will fix it soon; it's probably been delayed because of the holidays. There's more info about the issue in this thread.
Yes, it is already compatible. The UI won't look iOSy yet until I adjust it, but at least you'll get the geist. I'll see what I can do about the IPA.
So if my kbin account is in kbin.social, I am not able to login in the app at all?
That's correct, for now at least. It's not a limitation of the app, but that the API has not been enabled (by the kbin.social admin) on this server yet. At the moment, kbin.earth might be the only server that has working login functionality, but you could try some of the other API enabled kbin servers, it'll pop up an error if they don't work. See my related comment here.
Honestly, that's pretty much what this post and the previous post were for. I'll probably make future posts for other major milestones here as well, and smaller milestone posts are on the Interstellar magazine.
Are you planning on throwing a copy of your app in Google Play?
Yes, probably once it's more mature. I looked into the process already but was thrown off by the fact that Google wants my government ID (I'm a privacy advocate), but I'll probably end up doing it eventually. Also, if the project gets enough financing, I might put it on the Apple store as well.
Hopefully I won't abandon it, but if I did, it is open source, so at least someone else could pick it up (at some point, I'd like to get more maintainers, so I'm not the only one). Here you go for a chat room: kbin-interstellar:matrix.org, I did matrix to keep it close to the other kbin rooms.
Savings on thousands of games, plus your chance to vote in the Steam Awards now through January 4th
I already found a bug where voting/boosting the main thread on a details/comments page doesn't update the status. So if you try to vote, it most likely has worked; it just didn't update the screen.
Unfortunately, not yet. Only once the api is enabled for kbin.social (you can check by seeing if the API docs page loads) will it work. At the moment, the only api enabled instances I know of include karab.in, kbin.run, kbin.melroy.org, and kbin.earth. While working on the app, I found a kbin bug that causes logins to fail, so unless they've updated already, it's possible kbin.earth is the only instance you can actually log in on.
Updates on Interstellar kbin app: account login, voting, subscriptions, and more
If you haven't been following the Interstellar magazine, I've added a lot of functionality since the last thread here, including views for magazines/users/domains, better navigation for wider screens, QoL additions (like the @ button to reveal originating domain, inspired by Artemis), and a lot of different bug/functionality fixes.
This latest update finally includes the ability to log in to a kbin account, and it's not even restricted to just one; you can log in to as many accounts (or view them anonymously) as you want.
Now that you can log in, you can also vote/boost threads and comments. In addition, you can subscribe/follow any magazine/user/domain. Finally, the feed view has tabs for Sub/Mod/Fav/All when logged in.
For would-be testers, here's the link to the latest working build: github.com/jwr1/interstellar/releases (AppImage and APK).
The new kbin.earth server (open registration and API enabled) can be used for people wanting to test the app logged in, or maybe you just want to try a different instance.
Feel free to post any bugs or suggestions in the comments, on GitHub, or on the Interstellar magazine.
I agree with @Drewski, defederation should be the last choice. Kbin does have an option where you can block whole domains, so if you'd prefer that, go here and click the block button: kbin.social/d/fanaticus.social

I was using the flutter_markdown package to render markdown. Fortunately, the text style can be changed, so once I get around to it, I'll fix the color issue.
Yes, I noticed that. I think those are from citations (with >).
Both kbin.run and kbin.melroy.org support the api and are english if you want to try those.
The individual magazine's page has not been implemented yet; I might try to work on that tomorrow. Unfortunately, kbin.social does not support the API yet (that's why karab.in was the default).
Right now, I'm planning on Android. I'd put it on iOS if I didn't have to pay $100 a year for the Apple Developer Program.
Prototype for new Kbin app: Interstellar
I've been working for the past week on a new kbin app. At the moment, it's just a prototype and only the "Feed" view has content (you can't sign into an account or post anything yet); you can see threads, thread images, thread comments, thread links, and thread votes/boosts. You can also change the "Theme Mode" and "Instance Host" in the settings.
Here's a link to the source code (contributions welcome for those that know flutter): github.com/jwr1/interstellar. For testers, here are links to the first working builds: AppImage and APK.
Feel free to post any bugs or suggestions in the comments, on GitHub, or on the Interstellar magazine.
Again, this is just a prototype. If someone else is working on a better kbin app, I might just use that instead.
Hey @ernest, not sure if you saw my question here (https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/p/3482999) or not, but I was wondering what the recommended way to authenticate a user with the kbin API that allows federated use. From what I understand, the way it's currently set up is that developers have to register an oauth client with a kbin server in order to authenticate users from an external client. Does that mean every kbin server we want an external client to connect to has to register with oauth?
(https://kbin.social/u/ernest), I just have a quick question. Looking at the kbin oauth documentation on (https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/src/branch/develop/docs/oauth2_guide.md
@ernest, I just have a quick question. Looking at the kbin oauth documentation on codeberg and swagger, I got the impression that an authorization client needs to be registered on a server before a user can start using the API. This would be fine if kbin weren't federated, but what if a user wants to sign in to a different instance that doesn't have the oauth client I set up? Basically, I'm asking if there's a way to use the API without setting up the oauth client, but still be able to login to an account. Thanks

Also, I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but I've noticed posts don't seem to show up in feeds until they have at least one favorite. This post, for instance, wasn't in https://kbin.social/c/kbin initially, but once I upvoted it, it showed up. Maybe it doesn't qualify as "hot" if it has zero votes.
Additionally, I plan to launch an API on a secondary instance to avoid disrupting work on applications.
Sounds great! I was literally just wondering about that.
