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)

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.

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
