"My long-term vision for RedReader is to restructure the app to more easily support other sites, including Lemmy" -RedReader

RedReader is a Reddit app with over 100k downloads on the Google Play store

"I think it would be cool to work with some kind of "open forum protocol" which would allow a variety of websites and apps to interoperate with each other through a uniform API."

Awww yisss I was hoping for this! The reddit third party app devs have a ton of experience making something user will pay for rather than merely tolerate to get to the content they want. This is fantastic!

@liaizon @fediverse
This is what im talking about! Imagine embedding a forum into a site for discussion and then having that discourse accessible on a single platform. All while using one account for it all much like mastodon
This is powerful im telling you.

I was a long time RedReader user before the API shenanigans. Honestly surprised to see it mentioned here, it'd be awesome to see Lemmy compatibility.
