The lack of keyboard interface on Lemmy is killing me, but really what I want is a good client in Emacs. However, it’s beyond my Elisp to design and start such a project, but I could probably help. Anyone on it?

    I think this would be the best way to go.

    Myself, I’d love to be able to interact with Lemmy through Gnus, but it would be great to have a general emacs API for flexibility so you can choose the front-end.

    It looks as though the api for a client is defined in api_common.

          https://codeberg.org/martianh/lem has some basics, functions returning plain JSON. i didn’t do any auth, but if its oauth and so similar to mastodon.el, we cd also just move its auth code into the fedi.el library. and fedi-http.el is already set up to handle auth tokens.

          discovering lemmy’s query parameters is quite a pain for me, as i don’t know rust.

            That looks a promising start. I’ll have a look into it when I have some time. I hope some others do too!

            I don’t know Rust either, but it does appear to be relatively easy to understand; could be worse anyhow.

            It would be nice to have a fully documented API to work from: probably not a priority for the lemmy devs right now, I’d imagine.
