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?

          Sorry for delayed response, just getting used to lemmy …

    I have quite a few endpoints working now, each mostly just with the basic options implemented, and its easy to add endpoints with a handy macro i wrote. There are still quite a few quirks with lemmy itself that i’m struggling to work out, like how to search for my second account on another instance and actually have it appear in results. I might ask in a support room. The type-heavy rust and ts code is super foreign to me, it’s also very large. Moreover, the various documentation links, another one is https://join-lemmy.org/api/classes/LemmyHttp.html, sometime contradict each other. Maybe having the basics down I cd start on some necrco diy interface. [posted and edited via lem.el]

      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.

    I had also been thinking about this and figured it would make sense as a backend for gnus.el. I thught of starting a thread here but found this one first, so am posting to say I’m also interested in using such a thing. Idk if I’m organized enough to code it myself, due to RL distractions.

    made some progress. mainly spent time working on getting the sorting types and listing types going, so you can cycle between them on the go. v basic display of post details in byline, etc., but that can easily be spruced up by pulling code from mastodon.el. + markdown rendered posts/comments, uwu!

    https://codeberg.org/martianh/lem. the readme has a rough todo list.

    logging in and loading lem as package is still pretty rough, or kinda broken. but i’ll get it sorted soon.

    still gotta build a comments tree also, that’s a biggie.
