Can you easily communicate in your country (business/private life) without being involuntarily forced to use whatsapp?
  • Lost a bunch of contacts after ditching WhatsApp a few years back but eventually managed to get most of my valuable ones to use Signal.
    Work-wise everyone uses WhatsApp, for example my team has a group chat that I am not a part of, so I am losing some info on that side.
    When traveling I also get a lot of prompts to use WhatsApp for example two hotels we stayed at this year did concierge only via WhatsApp.

    P.S. Shameless plugin for /m/Signal

    Yes it does. That's literally what Ernest said and I even linked his statement on that in the post. It would behoove you to read it.

  • NEW: Update & Clarification on Votes, Boosts, Favorites, and Reputation Points on kbin

    Ernest just posted some comments clarifying recent changes to Votes, Boosts, Favorites, and Reputation Points:

    • Upvotes & Downvotes function akin to Reddit
    • Boosts count as two Upvotes (link)
    • Favorites are added to https://kbin.social/fav if you Upvote (link)
    • Reputation Points have been updated

    In addition to that, Ernest stated that "there is no connection between reputation points and sorting algorithms. It's just info in the profile" (link)

    UPDATED: There are now multiple iOS / Android apps in development for kbin & lemmy!

    The amount of apps being developed for iOS / Android is getting really crazy now and new apps keep popping up every day. Updated list below:

    • Artemis (iOS, Android, kbin, lemmy): link
    • Kbam (iOS, kbin, lemmy): link
    • Memmy (iOS, lemmy): link
    • Mlem (iOS, lemmy): link
    • Morpha (iOS, lemmy): link
    • Thunder (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
    • Beyond (iOS, Android, kbin, lemmy): link
    • Jerboa (Android, lemmy): link
    • Slide (Android, lemmy): link
    • Sync (Android, lemmy): link
    • Connect (Android, lemmy): link
    • Summit (Android, lemmy): link
    • Lemon (iOS, lemmy): link
    • Liftoff (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
    • Boost (Android, lemmy): link
    • Bean (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
    • WefWef (Web App, lemmy): link

    Most apps on the list are lemmy apps, meaning they don't work with kbin. Artemis is specifically designed to work with kbin, not sure if or when any of the other ones will go in that direction or become interoperable as there are some challenges with the kbin API at the moment. Having said that, a new API is in the works (https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/357) so things should get better with time.

    Some of the apps are in a very early stage of development so it may happen that they adjust OS availability and platform support.

  • Several iOS apps for kbin / lemmy are now in development!

    There are at least five apps that I know of currently in development for iOS. Unfortunately neither Memmy nor Mlem able to connect to kbin at the moment, something to do with the kbin-specific API from what @ernest, @BrooklynMan, and @gkd have said. Kmoon is specifically being developed for kbin and is multi-platform for iOS and Android (no TestFlight betas on that just yet):

    Artemis (Kmoon): https://kbin.social/m/ArtemisApp Memmy: https://kbin.social/m/memmy@lemmy.ml Mlem: https://kbin.social/m/mlemapp@lemmy.ml Morpha: https://kbin.social/m/morpha@vlemmy.net Thunder: https://kbin.social/m/thunder\_app@lemmy.world Lemur: https://kbin.social/m/programming@beehaw.org/t/58630/I-am-working-on-a-new-lemmy-app-for-iOS

    P.S. I don't use Android but have seen Jerboa mentioned quite often: https://kbin.social/m/jerboa@lemmy.ml
