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

they kind of are, each post originates from the instance of the OP not the community

for example if you click this icon on any post or comment, you'll see the actual native URL of it

notice that this post is actually https://social.wake.st/users/liaizon/statuses/110529759862782876 even though the community is https://lemmy.ml/c/fediverse

the native URL is what you need in order to share a post with other people so they can paste it in their own instance's search box
