Lemmy is so freaking wierd

Finding the docs for the API end points is a pain in the ass. Best I found is this but it seems to be version 1 of the API.

Looking at the communities/list end point I the request can have the following arguments.

{ op: “ListCommunities”, data: { sort: String, page: Option<i64>, limit: Option<i64>, auth: Option<String> } }Looks like there are multiple pages you probably only got page 1.

Try: curl https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/api/v3/community/list?page=2

I just looked at the Rust code from github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/…/community.rs

and it looks like you need to give it params to get what you need, i.e.

curl https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/api/v3/community/list?type_=Local&sort=Active&limit=50 | jq

Returns the top 50 local communities sorted by Active

I had something like this recently, I tried to find the community “!vintagestory” (found from lemmyverse.net) but searching that in the search bar gave nothing. I also searched vintage, and the first time I searched it that also yielded nothing, but the second time it did. There does seem to be a little inconsistency but I’m sure they’re working on it! :)

Lemmy posted my bot created post in the wrong instance, I think Lemmy has problems with instances.

The search thing is normal if no other user on our instance has searched/subscribed to that community. Annoying but if you know you got the link right, hit reload and the server will usually have loaded it lol
