Is it possible to run a Lemmy instance with a MySQL backend? (lemmy.ml)

I'm thinking about setting up my own (bare metal) Lemmy instance to play around with it, but it seems to require PostgreSQL. Everything else on my system uses MySQL, and I don't really want to run 2 separate database services. I guess I would also be fine with using an SQLite file, but that's not ideal.

Has anyone managed to set up a Lemmy instance with MySQL instead of PostgreSQL? Are you aware of any PostgreSQL to MySQL or SQLite compatibility layers?
