Lemmy

Hello.

I was developing a system/tutorial on how to build a self-hosted, collaborative content circulation no-code setup, using nocodb and n8n.

n8n does not yet support lemmy, not even through community nodes.

I can try to go through the API using the HTTP node, but I wanted to ask if there's some tutorial with examples that I can use, because so far most of the documentation I've found is focused on building alternative clients and that's a lot of overhead, especially in how I'm supposed to handle the credentials.

That said, I'm opening this postly mostly to see if there would be interest in developing a community node. This should be a quite easy project for anybody familiar with Lemmy and Lemmy's REST API. Here's a community node for mastodon, that looks quite close to what Lemmy's community node could look like.

https://github.com/n8n-community-node/n8n-nodes-mastodon/tree/master/nodes/Mastodon

It's mostly a matter of specifying a bunch of metadata about the fields of the node, and implement a few calls to the API. I know some TS and JS but they are not my strongest language. If somebody is willing to lead this effort though, I could contribute some code and some design documents.
