You couldn't make a proprietary server. Client is fine, AGPL doesn't apply when you are accessing the server over a public API.

The AGPL does apply when interacting with the covered work (Lemmy server) over a network. A proprietary client would still nevertheless be required, upon request, to furnish you with the source code of the covered work it is talking to over the network (the Lemmy server).

Do you really know what you are talking about? I think you're bullshitting. We are talking about propriety client which doesnt modified the source codes of the server.
