thanks for the link. so https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/src/api_routes_http.rs shows the paths and params, i tried them in a rest client and it's no too hard to follow.
the mastodon.el http layer isn't great, but it could be v quickly adapted for this case.
Thanks, yes that's a more useful source than my one.
https://codeberg.org/martianh/lem has some basics, functions returning plain JSON. i didn't do any auth, but if its oauth and so similar to mastodon.el, we cd also just move its auth code into the fedi.el library. and fedi-http.el is already set up to handle auth tokens.
discovering lemmy's query parameters is quite a pain for me, as i don't know rust.
That looks a promising start. I'll have a look into it when I have some time. I hope some others do too!
I don't know Rust either, but it does appear to be relatively easy to understand; could be worse anyhow.
It would be nice to have a fully documented API to work from: probably not a priority for the lemmy devs right now, I'd imagine.
