Hopefully this means it would be possible to use Sync to sign into Kbin as well in the future?

If the API is specified and documented it's automatically better than Lemmy's. Lemmy just autogenerates a Javascript client with Typescript types and that's the best you'll get. Comments or actual details are completely absent.

I'm sure someone can make a wrapper to expose the Lemmy API through a mock Kbin API (and maybe a Reddit API as well while we're at it) but we'll never get full compatibility.

Sadly, while everything is working together through ActivityPub, the ActivityPub client-to-server API is left unimplement by almost all servers. The API also isn't particularly complete.
