I’ve been working on a proxy that makes it possible for 3rd party Reddit apps to
connect to Lemmy with minimal code changes. Ideally all that’s needed is to swap
out the url for that of the proxy. Naturally it’s open source.
[https://github.com/derivator/tafkars/tree/main/tafkars-lemmy] I’ve got it to a
point where basic browsing is possible and works with RedReader and libreddit,
but I could use some help testing it with more apps and of course implementing
more of the API. To test with an app, you need to modify it to connect to the
proxy instead of Reddit, which I’ve done here
[https://github.com/derivator/libreddit] for libreddit, just for testing. The
RedReader dev has already expressed some interest
[https://www.reddit.com/r/apihackathon/comments/13yvzg2/rapihackathon_lounge/jnb765j/]
in making the API url configurable for the end user. If you’re interested, come

This is really interesting. Thank you for sharing!
Next step would be to add a way for app developpers to host special Instances that allow reddit accounts authenticated through oauth to interact with lemmy communities
