I am making a Unofficial Reddit API, which mimics the official one.

Its early days, but I would like to have a discussion here about it since my post was blocked on reddit(of course).

Let me know what you think of the project, if you have any input, let me know.

I been quite cozy on Lemmy, it would really have to go down hill for me to find a replacement.

I think it's fine, but the emotional downvotes really bother me (i.e. people seem to prefer consensus over quality of discuss, just look at any post criticizing Biden). That's not different from Reddit, it's just not better.

But there's plenty of good discussion, so I'm happy for the time being. But I'm not really loyal to lemmy and don't see much point in the fediverse/activitypub, so the only thing holding me here is the lack of a better alternative.
