Hello everyone!
I’m here to share a project I’ve been working on, Plemmy. Plemmy is a Python package for accessing the Lemmy API, specifically through LemmyHttp.
Feel free to offer advice and contribute!
Edit: version 0.2.0 released, all LemmyHttp operations are supported! (Most methods still need testing)
Hi there, thanks for working on this! One thing I am trying to do is write a script that fetches all of a particular user’s subscribed communities (on any instance). It seems like a fairly simple thing but I can’t seem to find any library that offers that functionality at the moment, unless I am missing something.
Another thing I’d like to be able to do is follow a community on a different instance to the user’s local instance. I see Plemmy has a
follow_communitymethod but it’s not clear if it allows following communities on different instances.Are these things that Plemmy does or will support? It wasn’t clear to me from the docs and am just wondering if Plemmy (or any existing library) will work for my use case.
Looking at the LemmyHttp docs, mentioned above, it looks like you probably want to use the
ListCommunitiesresource with thetype_ListingTypeof"Subscribed".To do that with Plemmy, it looks like you want to use
LemmyHttp(...).list_communities(type_='Subscribed').Fair warning, I’m making this comment just from reading docs and source code, I haven’t had a chance to try this yet.
