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 don’t think Lemmy will end up being much more different than Reddit. It’s supposed to be less censored and all of that but it’s really not

      Decentralization is, by definition, censorship-resistant, just hop to another instance.

      There is censorship, but i think it’s on par with reddit. Were i to post some of the stuff i post here on lemmy on mastodon instead i’d have my account banned. Speaking from experience.

        or roll your own instance, with blackjack and hookers

        I’ve gotten banned from places on here for simply stating facts that certain people don’t like and yes, you can move to another instance but there are only a few instances where you can reach a decent sized audience.
