apollo-backend VS tafkars

I believe this endpoint is the only way to retrieve json with posts from Reddit, so every single app would use it. Even Apollo used it, although it did it with OAuth. See this line:

Disclaimer: it's been quite a while since I've last looked into Reddit API, so I could easily be wrong.

I'd consider platform and infra tools the kind of projects that require DSA. As for product, this is the typical kind of projects I've worked on: https://github.com/christianselig/apollo-backend which doesn't have any LC stuff. But I get that things are very different in big tech / FAANGS.

Since Apollo’s backend server is now open sourced, it'd be great if we could install the server on a Raspberry Pi or something so one can get notifications and other features that rely on it.

5. Apollo Backend: - Set up an Apollo backend server using a community-driven platform like https://github.com/christianselig/apollo-backend. - Design and implement the backend infrastructure for SecurIoT, including data storage, authentication, and API endpoints. - Integrate the backend with the frontend components of SecurIoT. - Thoroughly test the backend functionality, ensuring it supports the required operations and scalability.

The Backend was open sourced to counter U/spez Bullshit arguments about inefficient code creating too many API requests

On this same call, Huffman claimed that Apollo employed "scraping", a technique of programmatically fetching a webpage to process its contents.[d] Scraping is largely considered bad practice in web resource development, as it is not using resources as they were intended, and can be costly to the party being scraped. This is especially true when the same data is available via an API (Application Programming Interface), which is the intended method of programmatically fetching website content. Christian refutes Huffman's accusation, and has open-sourced Apollo's server code to prove it does not scrape reddit. I have seen no credible claims or evidence that Huffman is correct.

You could totally do everything you want to, except it's not as simple as making Reddit API requests because there's this: https://github.com/christianselig/apollo-backend

Activity seems to have died down now that some larger Reddit apps have announced they're building dedicated Lemmy clients. Connect for Lemmy is pretty good already, Sync is coming out with an app in a few weeks, and there are other apps out there as well.

You can also change the base URL in the app to a Reddit-To-Lemmy proxy like https://github.com/derivator/tafkars

I'm trying to use https://github.com/derivator/tafkars in order to access lemmy through the infinity interface, but it seems changing only the api url in APIUtils doesn't work. Is there anything else that needs to be changed?

By the way, someone else posted the link, there is already someone working on such an API conversion. Here's the link https://github.com/derivator/tafkars

Folks who understand both the Reddit API and the Lemmy API would be super useful over in https://github.com/derivator/tafkars
