We're trying to organize a hackathon, and one of the users has a proof of concept gateway running allowing Red Reader (and other 3rd party apps) to switch to Lemmy with no changes (except for the API url). It's basically providing a reddit-compatible api for lemmy.

/u/whupazz is working on a reddit compatible api for lemmy, meaning most 3rd party apps should work with little or no modification. See it working with RedReader already: https://imgur.com/a/IF5HYGz
