While I agree that porting one of these great reddit clients to a new platform like Lemmy is the way to go, I don't see why it should be done by the individual developer instead of treated as a community effort. We'll just end up in the same boat again where he's piggy backing on another project (Lemmy, etc) to build a closed-source business that only he profits from. And while I have no problem with people selling apps they wrote, if none of these developers are going to open source their work so that the community can participate, I'd rather see a longer term effort go into improving FOSS solutions.
