  • Hello cafe !

    The project is on ice atm, if I get the hang on the API calls for communities and messages I’d probably continue.

    I know some people think you shouldn’t scan messages, but they’re free to see out there in the open already? I mean a search engine could actually do wonders for unknown communities, and I’d gladly filter out by some tag or whatever if needed. I mean if I get down to do it :-)

    Cheers!











  • I made a crude lemmy scanner, but as I’m using the “http api” I’m a bit stuck at servers and instances. Almost 1800 servers and IIRC (I’m on my phone) some 40.000 communities. Yay!

    I know the official api docs, but I don’t know how to really use it, just send a json to some server? Would love to have an easy example and I’ll go from there (family, work, art, and other gets in the way).

    The goal would be to figure out how to make a search engine without storing the whole lemmyverse locally.

    FOSS obviously.
