Someone's developing a reddit API "proxy" that is backed by the Fediverse. Seems like the best option I've heard of.

AFKARS, is the name, if I recall the amusing acronym correctly.

I can't find reference to this, would you mind sharing a link? I'm interested as a potential contributor.

Heh, I suspect it was posted to a sub that has now gone dark because I can't find it.

To help search, the acronym was something like "API formerly known as..." And then ended with RS because .

If I find it again I'll post another new reply to you.

This was certainly it.

Also, I don't know about the legality/ethics of it, but it would be really cool to see Reddit Moderators work with someone to mirror reddit submissions to Lemmy. At the very least it would promote further discussion of who owns the content of reddit.com, as curated entirely by volunteer mods.
