Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.
Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

Sopuli is having a federation issue, where outgoing data is failing to federate. You can post to the communities there, but content is failing to federate to other instances out from sopuli, meaning almost no-one is getting to see sopuli-related posts and comments. (Only sopuli and whatever instance the content originates at, few others)
This post currently has triple the votes over on sopuli, and a comment by me from my sopuli account, all of which aren't syncing back to lemmy.world
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.
Noticing the same. Sopuli seems to have recovered, and is now syncing up, though slowly.
Votes and really new posts and comments are still out of sync. As of writing this, my comment made on this post, using my sopuli account, still isn't on lemmy.world.
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.
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.
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.
ActivityPub really can't do what discord does.
Matrix, however...
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.
Yes, it works with kbin mags too, from lemmy.
Kbin would have to be updated, too, to be able to do the same thing.
More likely that the autopilot kicks in, locks the doors, and drives into a lake.
