Yes you can use the API of lemmy. There's also SDKs for python and javascript
Looks like there's plenty of ground and from what I read about vaxry, they seem to be a bigot at best and a cryptofash at worst.
Better integration within the larger fediverse, mastodon, friendica, pixelfed, etc. This is a killer feature that none of the big walled gardens can have and will improve the amount of interactions we have (which is a big thing people keep comparing about) a lot.

AI Horde provides LLMs for free. They're not GPT4, but they're uncensored and crowdsourced by the community. There's also not tracking or ads. Here's a frontend for LLMs. No need to install anything either. If you have a decent GPU, you can also assist others with generations

You'd be surprised how well someone who wants to can camouflage their package to look legit.
Yes, just grab any recent LLM like Mistral-7B and ask it to translate for you. A local client is here https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp but you might need a good GPU to get quick answers.
Alternatively use https://lite.koboldai.net to use someone else's computer.
