Apollo for lemmy would be great, and it wouldn't be too hard for Christian to rewrite it to work with lemmy. Heck, people have written proxies which proxy the reddit oauth API to lemmy, so it would be as easy as running one of those proxies and replacing a URL, really.

    The difference in data models and APIs, combined with the amount of features Apollo supported would likely make it a fairly large task.
