I read about that. I honestly would have switched to piefed myself if I hadn’t gotten too used to the lemmy-ui.
It’s not technically impossible to fork and port lemmy-ui to piefed (the APIs are similar. Hell, you might not even need to modify the code.)
I don’t mind not having lemmy-ui if i can keep using all the other lemmy clients, personally :D
True, when people say the apis are similar, do you mean you could use a lemmy client with it, or that it would be easy to adapt a lemmy client for it?
[AFAIK] The only thing right now, that’s stopping me from using say photon with piefed; is that most clients use the /api/v3 endpoint, but piefed only has /api/alpha. I bugged rimu about try to add a mock /api/v3 endpoint to see how far most lemmy clients would go with an unmodified instance; he’s yet to try that though.
But beyond that trivial point, yes; it should be very easy to adapt a lemmy client. Andrew already did so, while knowing nothing about dart; jwr1 already ported interstellar; and AP is planning to port tesseract/dubvee to piefed.
