If the API is specified and documented it's automatically better than Lemmy's. Lemmy just autogenerates a Javascript client with Typescript types and that's the best you'll get. Comments or actual details are completely absent.
I'm sure someone can make a wrapper to expose the Lemmy API through a mock Kbin API (and maybe a Reddit API as well while we're at it) but we'll never get full compatibility.
Sadly, while everything is working together through ActivityPub, the ActivityPub client-to-server API is left unimplement by almost all servers. The API also isn't particularly complete.
