If frontends are things that can just be hosted using (mostly) the same amount of resources the default frontends would use, what about a frontend that makes use of both lemmy and sharkey. I know that the 2 services have some overlap thanks to the protocols. And i personally may not get much use from such a frontend being a primarily mobile user. But i guess that i'm just curious if there are efforts for a multi-protocol fediverse frontend.
Not that I am aware of, and not that it's not possible, but the protocols are quite different, the Lemmy API, the Misskey API (with various dialects for Sharkey, Iceshrimp and Firefish) and the Mastodon API (with Akkoma, Pleroma, etc) are all very different from each other and even making a third party UI that completely understands and implements a single API / dialect is an enormous undertaking.
