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

      Hey. Don’t dis my first love. 😊

      I still have Infinity installed and will miss it sorely. It has some features Jerboa is still missing. But I am hoping some of these 3rd party devs will find a love for Lemmy. If Lemmy can hold a growing community.

      Jerboa is good but certainly not faster or easier than Infinity. The font size setting doesn’t apply consistently, it doesn’t find its exact previous spot when going back to the feed, customization is lacking, and the bottom bar (default) isn’t intuitive.

        You’re certainly right the font issue. But Jerboa is far from finished and is actively developed. Join the project to help if you just can.

          Don’t let my critiques fool you, I still think Jerboa is a great app. I’m learning a bit of coding on the side and may one day help out with the project

      Better have a smorgasbord of different apps, it’s great if we can get a decent competition going.
