On any of the donation threads where it came up and he replied to it, the most he ever did was some half hearted corporate PR “apology” (ironic)

    True, when people say the apis are similar, do you mean you could use a lemmy client with it, or that it would be easy to adapt a lemmy client for it?

      [AFAIK] The only thing right now, that’s stopping me from using say photon with piefed; is that most clients use the /api/v3 endpoint, but piefed only has /api/alpha. I bugged rimu about try to add a mock /api/v3 endpoint to see how far most lemmy clients would go with an unmodified instance; he’s yet to try that though.

      But beyond that trivial point, yes; it should be very easy to adapt a lemmy client. Andrew already did so, while knowing nothing about dart; jwr1 already ported interstellar; and AP is planning to port tesseract/dubvee to piefed.
