The lack of keyboard interface on Lemmy is killing me, but really what I want is a good client in Emacs. However, it’s beyond my Elisp to design and start such a project, but I could probably help. Anyone on it?

I have quite a few endpoints working now, each mostly just with the basic options implemented, and its easy to add endpoints with a handy macro i wrote. There are still quite a few quirks with lemmy itself that i’m struggling to work out, like how to search for my second account on another instance and actually have it appear in results. I might ask in a support room. The type-heavy rust and ts code is super foreign to me, it’s also very large. Moreover, the various documentation links, another one is https://join-lemmy.org/api/classes/LemmyHttp.html, sometime contradict each other. Maybe having the basics down I cd start on some necrco diy interface. [posted and edited via lem.el]
I think this would be the best way to go.
Myself, I’d love to be able to interact with Lemmy through Gnus, but it would be great to have a general emacs API for flexibility so you can choose the front-end.
It looks as though the api for a client is defined in api_common.
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.
Lol oops, i edited using the wrong id! baby steps. For reference, the API ‘docs’ can be found in the following: https://join-lemmy.org/api/classes/LemmyHttp.html https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmyBB/tree/main/src/api https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/src/api_routes_http.rs.
The first seems most complete.
