Well, yes but not easily: this API will indeed allow developers to more easily develop third-party clients for kbin, but I don't think it is a 1:1 reproduction of Lemmy's API, so it will require significant work for clients to support both Lemmy and kbin.
Also, do keep in mind that kbin and Lemmy do not have feature parity (like Boosting or following users which are kbin-only)
Yeah, it definitely is not a drop in for Lemmy's API, so if Sync were to support my API for kbin it would be an additional layer for them to add.
That's understandable, I figured it wouldn't be interchangeable with the Lemmy API. He did mention in his Discord a little while ago that kbin support is planned, so hopefully that's still on the roadmap now that the API is almost ready.
Thank you for your work on the API!

I would add that's it's significantly different. ActivityPub sharing fields like title and url is one thing, sso login is another.
