An NNTP binding would be a bit more directly mappable, as Lemmyβs more analogous to Usenet than email. Each community would be a newsgroup. Still, NNTP and SMTP are pretty closely related, to the point that Outlook Express supported both email and Usenet. Subscribing, reading, posting, and commenting are pretty easy concepts to map, only up and downvoting are unsupported.
