Latest version also has an instance explorer, that lets you open other instances in that same “view all” view.

Select “instances” in search, or long press a post from another instance>instance>visit instance.

There’s not a lot of work that’s gone into using it on a tablet. It would be nice if posts got split into columns, like you can do with the feed.

Did they actually re-code the whole thing to make it native? You can ship a web app via the app store just fine. Only making changes to take advantage of the better system access that provides.

Pretty sure its still a web app under the hood.

A web app doesn’t magically turn into a native app when you put it on the app store. The way it gets installed, and the system access is different, and better for stuff like notifications…

But the word “native” refers to applications made using the native SDK, which in Apple’s case is Swift. I’d be extremely impressed if the devs re-wrote the entire app in new code. But that would be unnecessary.

You can have non-native apps on the app store. A lot of your apps probably aren’t native. SDKs like flutter, used by liftoff and thunder, make development much easier in exchange for the resulting application running a bit less efficiently. Flutter applications can also run on both Android and iOS, and even desktop, with little additional work.

Thunder has also been available for a while.

It is overall a bit behind in development compared to others, but IMO it’s the best looking. Next update is bringing another big set of improvements.

ActivityPub really can’t do what discord does.

Matrix, however…

Yes, it works with kbin mags too, from lemmy.

Kbin would have to be updated, too, to be able to do the same thing.
