It occurred to me this morning that the activitypub protocol could be converted/translated to NNTP, which would allow us to access Lemmy with a newsreader.

Like most ideas, it turns out that someone else (Adam Sjøgren) had it too, and has already created an activitypub server with NNTP access (illuminant). If I understand correctly, it appears to have started out as a Mastodon-to-NNTP project, but there are now mentions of Lemmy in the commits…

What a great project! If I can figure it out, I may self-host it.
