I am truly hoping Christian or u/lupeski come here and show their awesome talent off in the Fediverse!
Apollo for lemmy would be great, and it wouldn't be too hard for Christian to rewrite it to work with lemmy. Heck, people have written proxies which proxy the reddit oauth API to lemmy, so it would be as easy as running one of those proxies and replacing a URL, really.
The difference in data models and APIs, combined with the amount of features Apollo supported would likely make it a fairly large task.
But that aside, he mentioned in an article recently that he doesnβt have an appetite to pivot the app towards Lemmy or another third party: https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/13/23759180/reddit-protest-private-apollo-christian-selig-subreddit
I'm aware, but there have been efforts to do this, which is what I was referring to:

aww that sucks :-/ maybe he should just put the code on github and release it as FOSS then if he doesn't want to work on it
That's over simplified. Even if they change the data source. Lemmy and reddit have different data structures and the UI would also have to be modified
definitely, but it's good enough for a start, while he develops a more comprehensive application

That would be awesome if it came to fruition! I am so proud of everybody who has brought the Fediverse this far, and that would ice the cake haha.
