For me it simply came down to the fact that I prefer the layout, and it's also nice knowing I can block whole domains (looking at you, furry spammers). It also integrates with Mastodon if that's your thing (it's not my thing), and I have high hopes for the ability of Ernest (the founder and only dev, to my knowledge) to usher it in a good and healthy direction. I can see all content from Lemmy and interact with it though, so it really just comes down to personal preference.
Is kbin supported with a mobile app. I've been on Jerboa for Lemmy and it's been pretty ok for beta.
There's one on the way to a beta (Artemis) but I just used the Firefox feature to place a webapp on my phone so I click that and it immediately opens in Firefox.
The kbin mobile website works fine in Safari on the iPhone, too. Looks just like the website adapted for a smaller screen and has all the same functionality. With the exception of notifications, it's fine. And it's early days, people will develop apps for the platform.
Will apps made for Lemmy (like Sync for Lemmy that was just announced) work with Kbin? Or is it a different API entirely?
I did the same with Chrome. I'm looking forward to Artemis, but I like the webapp just fine.
It's in progress. Scroll down to the bottom of this page:

There's work being done on #Kmoon.
You should be able to find it without too much effort.
It’s called Artemis now, and you can sign up to beta test. For those who aren’t aware, check @hariette’s profile, she’s been posting pretty frequently about it
