    What makes this different from/better than Jerboa? I’m a (soon to be former) Reddit Sync user and Jerboa’s a little feature bare but it does everything I did on Sync.

        I’m viewing this kbin magazine(?) through an identity hosted on lemmy.world (and just double checked that I can post on these kbin-hosted communities through Jerboa), i’m new to this whole federated thing but isn’t that supposed to be the point? I thought the protocol that kbin and other instances use was a standard with certain compliance and the whole “cross-federation” thing meant that as long as your “home” and the place you’re browsing are buddy-buddy, you can sign in to whatever to look at whatever (and if you wanted your “home” to literally be a raspberry pi in your closet, it can be).

          So you’re currently signed in to the lemmy.world instance. I am signed in to the kbin.social instance. I don’t want to recreate my account over on a Lemmy instance just so I can use the Jerboa app or any of the other alternatives.

          You are able to post and see posts from kbin due to federation, but you would not be able to log in to a kbin instance on the Jerboa app.

          The Artemis App (the app in the OP) will allow users to sign in with EITHER a Lemmy instance or a kbin instance
