That could also mean client API-compatible, so Lemmy apps would work with it, which doesn't address federation.
Maybe so. We should, probably, ask @Penguincoder@beehaw.org about this.
Pong. @mox@lemmy.sdf.org , in sublinks, the federation services are entirely separate from the API of the instance. So much separate, the federation services are written in a programming language called Golang. The API service is written in a programming language called Java.
One aspect does not require or preclude the other with Sublinks.
Thanks for clearing that up!
