Yeah I suppose not all of them will want to commit to supporting Kbin, but some definitely will. Honestly though, so long as it’s possible to search for and subscribe to Kbin magazines from Lemmy, that’s all I really care about.
I’m so so looking forward to sync, and it gives me a lot of hope seeing all of these apps and fancy UI’s, it’s reassuring that the fediverse is here to stay and will continue to grow
I don’t, it’s not that much more work as the basics of it won’t change that much over time and the functionality will be near identical. We might not get newer features that are eventually added though.
I would expect that 99% bits of your app that talk to the API can be the same for both, you just need to maintain slightly different code for interacting with each actual API.
In fact scrolling further through the comments I see that not only is this how @hariette is handling it for Artemis but she’s also looking at making the talking to both APIs bit of the code available to other devs.
Very much doubt. I’m sure many will but not all. The API isn’t identical so they’d have to commit to maintaining both.

If nothing else, the Sync developer said he’d do it.
nice, that’s the one I’ve been hoping for the most!
