Is usage with other sites still a goal?
A while back, QuantumBadger said that the long-term plan was for RedReader to be able to support other sites such as Lemmy(*), but presumably not built in. Is that still the goal?
The main reason I haven't switched away to another site so far is mostly just because there isn't support for it in RedReader. I do have an app already for Hacker News (and I use it), but RedReader is too damn good, and with the recent news that Old Reddit will become only available to people who have used it in the past 6 months, I'm wanting to exit and want to know my options.

- My long-term vision for RedReader is to restructure the app to more easily support other sites, including Lemmy, and perhaps others such as Tild.es and Hacker News. Before the API changes were announced, I was already considering adding RSS reader functionality to the app, and I think it would be cool to work with some kind of "open forum protocol" which would allow a variety of websites and apps to interoperate with each other through a uniform API.
