Where can I get the auth key or is this just the password of the registered bot? Also what is honeypot good for?

FYI: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeypot_(computing)

But there should also be a separate endpoint to get an auth token. (I don't remember it off the top of my head). Then your bot should store that somewhere and send it as the auth parameter in every request.

I know what a honeypot is ;) It exists outside computing, such as spy vs. spy.

What I have no idea of is what Lemmy does internally with a honeypot post it creates. Auto-report comments on them?
