"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
I don't think an unmodified Reddit app would be able to effectively browse the fediverse no matter how good a translation API is, but it could mean a lot LESS work for an app designer making a lemmy app.
I wonder in the relay for reddit author can make this a reality?
God I hope so. No knock against the developers, because it's a young app and they are improving it almost every day, but Jerboa is really hard to use coming from Relay.
u/DBrady just has excellent UX/UI design sense.
Well,. that's pretty epic..... Will. Definitely follow that Git! Thanks :)
Awesome to see!
Jerboa is already faster and easier than Infinity.
Hey. Don't dis my first love. 😊
I still have Infinity installed and will miss it sorely. It has some features Jerboa is still missing. But I am hoping some of these 3rd party devs will find a love for Lemmy. If Lemmy can hold a growing community.
Better have a smorgasbord of different apps, it's great if we can get a decent competition going.
Interesting, I wonder how they’ll handle communities being decentralized.
Communities themselves are not really decentralized, are they?
@emberwit @Ghostalmedia well they are in the sense that any account from across the fedi can contribute to them. I just posted this topic from my single user mastodon instance
