Wil it be possible to use the same client for Lemmy as for Mastodon? They speak the same protocol so it should not be extremely hard to port such client, right?

As I understand it, you don’t even need anything porting. You can just search for the community like a user, e.g. @asklemmy@lemmy.world and it’ll show the community. Whether the posts show I think depends on the instance and whether they sync older posts.

Yeah tried that but unfortunately it does not understand what a Lemmy post is. It only shows comments

Ah, fair enough. I guess it’s a different media type, should be fairly easy to support, although whether they will or not 🤷‍♀️
