Seems like an interesting effort. A developer is building an alternative Java-based backend to Lemmy's Rust-based one, with the goal of building in a handful of different features. The dev is looking at using this compatibility to migrate their instance over to the new platform, while allowing the community to use their apps of choice.

There's a user made OpenAPI spec: https://github.com/MV-GH/lemmy_openapi_spec - You probably mean that one

I've had similar issues as you mentioned that the dev did fix - but yea, Typescript has less precision than Rust (the source) or the openapi spec. And the Typescript client is build for Lemmy-JS and not build an example for other language client libraries...

Though the OpenAPI Documents in C# and Java are based on reflection of the source itself, and Rust doesn't have Reflection like that... So it's probably difficult for them to add without manually maintaining the OpenAPI specs
