Exactly the UI and the model/backend are properly separated if it follows a design pattern like MVC. So it would be pretty trivial to replace the Reddit API calls with Lemmy API calls. Except for the things that don’t exactly translate one on one.

Famous last words calling something trivial in engineering. But if there’s anyone that can it’s our man ❤️

Man. You are way more optimistic about the promises of MVC than I am. Yes it can definitely make things easier for a transition like this but I would not call it trivial.
