Could the RIF app be repurposed to support Lemmy? (self.redditwasfun)

Could RIF become LIF if it was retooled to show posts from Lemmy instead? Or are the websites so different that the only thing which could be repurposed is the UI?

It could end being another Digg situation where the site rapidly died and Reddit took over, however Reddit became much more massive and integrated into society much deeper than Digg ever did. I don't think it'll be a quick death but a slower one, if it ever happens. I'm kinda 70/30 on the matter, but it would be fun to watch a new "reddit" take over. If it DOES happens though, it's gonna be a slow.
