"My long-term vision for RedReader is to restructure the app to more easily support other sites, including Lemmy" -RedReader
RedReader is a Reddit app with over 100k downloads on the Google Play store
"I think it would be cool to work with some kind of "open forum protocol" which would allow a variety of websites and apps to interoperate with each other through a uniform API."

Awww yisss I was hoping for this! The reddit third party app devs have a ton of experience making something user will pay for rather than merely tolerate to get to the content they want. This is fantastic!

This is what im talking about! Imagine embedding a forum into a site for discussion and then having that discourse accessible on a single platform. All while using one account for it all much like mastodon
This is powerful im telling you.

I feel bad for the people who rely on accessibility features like those in r/blind. It feels like they don't have much choice and pretty limited in terms of options. I don't think lemmy/kbin has enough to offer them from an accessibility standpoint yet (someone correct me if I'm wrong). I hope RedReader supports the Fediverse soon for that, if nothing else.

I was a long time RedReader user before the API shenanigans. Honestly surprised to see it mentioned here, it'd be awesome to see Lemmy compatibility.
