Hi I'm looking for how to make some bookmarklets to browse a few things in a different way. Is there some way to at least get a json of a post/community/user to view some info that isn't readily available on the UI?

Not sure about any info that is hidden to the default Lemmy-UI though

yeah there' is a lot of info there i found that is hidden on the UI but it's not enough to switch a post's url to another instance sadly. Seems there's no permlink or unique ID that is searchable, only a post id on the local server and a post id on the remote server but there's nothing like /c/community/permlink, it's all post/numbers and the numbers are different on each instance

here's an example response from the api when u get a post or comment:
