Lemmy client that lets you use a Mastodon account

Probably an edge case, but I have a sweet Mastodon vanity username and I'd like to use the power of the Fediverse. Interacting with Lemmy from Mastodon itself is a little clunky (I acknowledge that it's still early days!)

Is anyone developing a Lemmy client that lets you use a Mastodon account?

Is that possible?

If I understand correctly, Lemmy clients rely on the lemmy API every instamce of Lemmy serves. This is a non-ActivityPub interface that only lemmy instances have. Thus, your lemmy client doesn't have an API to talk to if you use a mastodom instance, since mastodon doesn't serve the lemmy API.
