kbin was designed or built with lemmy compatibility early on, and unfortunately not vice versa.
It’s really up to the lemmy devs as to when they’ll ever get around to it.
6·10 months ago…as the default browser on Android phones, the most common computer system on the planet.
Yes, the sessions that I previously logged into on other apps and browsers are fine.
If I bring up a different browser on the same machine, or a new app on the same device, I can’t log in.
It’s happening to me too.
I’m getting a wrong password error when I try to log in from Liftoff and the web interface.
For iOS, Aside from mlem, there is also the Memmy app in development, but the beta is full right now.
For Android, aside from Jerboa, there is Connect, which I can say works well.

I disagree somewhat.
A lot of high tech development comes with a greed motive, e.g. IPO, or getting bought out by a large company seeking to enter the space, e.g. Google buying Android, or Facebook buying Instagram and Oculus.
And conversely, a lot of open source software are copies of commercially successful products, albeit they only become widely adopted after the originals have entered the enshittified phase of their life.
Is there a Lemmy without Reddit? Is there a Mastodon without Twitter? Is there LibreOffice without Microsoft Office and decades of commercial word processors and spreadsheets before that? Or OpenOffice becoming enshittified for that matter? Is there qBittorrent without uTorrent enshittified? Is there postgreSQL without IBM’s DB2?
The exception that I can see is social media and networked services that require active network and server resources, like Facebook YouTube, or even Dropbox and Evernote.
Okay, The WELL is still around and is arguably the granddaddy of all online services, and has avoided enshittification, but it isn’t really open source.
