The lack of keyboard interface on Lemmy is killing me, but really what I want is a good client in Emacs. However, it’s beyond my Elisp to design and start such a project, but I could probably help. Anyone on it?

    I’m not forcing you, but “re-invent the wheel” is a bit misconception when Lemmy itself is in the very early development stage.

      You misunderstand me. I mean reinventing the wheel of the various functions the solution requires. The actual communication with Lemmy will be a tiny fraction of the work.

        It’s always a learning opportunity regardless! Could be a great portfolio project as well. If you’re worried about reinventing the wheel: Google every step of the way to find if a well supported package already exists for what you’re trying to do. Read code of other popular packages that implement that feature you need and “steal” it from them. Maybe your lisp won’t be very idiomatic but that can always be fixed and you have to learn that through experience anyways.
