Looking for help with an odd cronjob. (lemmy.sdf.org)

I make a lot of OC videos to post here on Lemmy. I'm on Nobara, which is currently on Fedora 39. I'm like an intermediate Linux user and mostly have experience with Debian. All of that being said, I'm up at odd hours.

If someone can help me figure out how to make a script to post a video to Lemmy when people are actually awake, that would be fantastic. It could be a lot, I know. I have no idea how to start here. It'd likely need a giant script, and API access along with possible sudo permissions.

I haven't been a developer since ~2002 and even then it was only Java web stuff. So, while I might understand things with some guidance I can no longer really get things like this running by myself.

If anyone has info or guidance on how to get this done, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm trying to get automatic uploads to at least catbox.moe, and if possible YouTube (though I know that is unlikely).

I know this is an odd one, but I know you all (if anyone) have the technical set to help me out here. I'll answer any questions I can!

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
