I see, but apps are already being created specifically for using Lemmy. Like Jerboa. So there must be a reason why people want to use them instead of using apps for Mastodon?
Mastodon mobile apps and Lemmy mobile apps are not compatible with each other afaik. The Lemmy API is different to the Mastodon API. Their communication protocol between instances is ActivityPub.
I think what the other guy meant was more along the lines of pointing out that there's no way to enforce that software interacting with Lemmy has to be copyleft.
Ah, yes, that wouldn't be possible.
