I was under the assumption that I can use one fediverse account across all ther fediverse apps, but this doesn’t seem to be the case.
I.e. I downloaded the mastodon android app and tried to select kbin.social as the server, but it gives an error.
Same for jerboa, it won’t let me connect to kbin.social, saying invalid credentials.
Is this something on the roadmap or am I simply wrong with my assumption?
Yes exactly. If we want universal apps, we need to convince implementers to use the C2S. I also think the huge push to get native apps for kbin/lemmy was way too premature. I’m worried that’s gonna lock in their current APIs and make transitioning to the C2S even harder.
I think we could start with an api alongside the existing one, and have it downward-compatible until everything is migrated, bit by bit.
