someone is working on a reddit api compatibility shim so reddit apps could connect to Lemmy without redesigning their apps

https://github.com/derivator/tafkars/tree/main/tafkars-lemmy

“Tafkars stands for “The API formerly known as…”, is written in Rust and is pronounced like “tough cars”. Tafkars is an API proxy that allows apps to talk to Lemmy through a familiar API from a kinder time. The hope is that this will make it easy for app developers to support Lemmy with only minimal code changes.” @fediverse

      God I hope so. No knock against the developers, because it’s a young app and they are improving it almost every day, but Jerboa is really hard to use coming from Relay.

      u/DBrady just has excellent UX/UI design sense.
