I don't understand why people still want to use reddit instead of moving to Lemmy or Kbin

Most people aren't even thinking of moving to reddit alternatives. Users have a lot of power in this situation. Just move your community to Lemmy or Kbin. It's not that hard.

There are many reasons, ranging from not wanting to leave already established communities, Lemmy and Kbin aren't quite as robust as Reddit is yet, and a lot of people just frankly don't care enough to switch. Plus the lack of a mobile for Kbin doesn't help.

Just gotta be patient and win people over slowly when they willing to make the jump :) We may see some more once the third-party apps shutdown at the end of the month.

The author of Sync for Reddit (IMHO the best Android Reddit app) just posted that he's going to create Sync for Lemmy.

There is a mobile app for kbin, though. It's not great, but it exists. I'm using it right now!

don't leave us hanging. How do you get this app?

If you’re on iOS, you can do “share > add to Home Screen > add” to get a make-shift app. If you go this route, you’ll find that you’re lacking navigation arrows to go back. Just swipe the left of the screen to go back.

Alternatively, there’s a beta app called Memmy if you don’t mind beta.

I tried searching the app store, and could'nt find anything called memmy. Is it a Test Flight app?
