lem.el also implements a client, similar in design to mastodon.el. i did the api layer so that others could implement other kinds of interfaces such as a gnus backend if they desired.
does that really matter? its clear that lem.el is an Emacs library, and is thus named as such (.el), and is thus not a standalone piece of software. I really don't think its a problem. there are no Emacs libraries with the same name.
yeah, the relative ones are always on another instance it seems. if you strip the '/c/' you can hit the '/community' endpoint with the 'comm@inst.ance' part as the name parameter and it returns the community_view for it. works fine.
i'm just unsure how to actually correctly fetch the next set items in order to update display, whether for scrolling or paginating. for my client i just want to append at the bottom of the screen.
hm, yes but they're rate limits, not the maximum values that can be passed to the limit param. they must be different because my rate limits are post: 6, comment: 6, and that's definitely not the max value for limit for fetching those items.
i'm building a client, happy to help if i can, also to receive help! main issues i have had so far is how to actually use a number of the methods' parameters, like limit (whats the max value?), page (how does pagination actually work?), etc. so far i have been storing any useful info about the API (like the valid values for a given type) in my own lists then querying them in my code.
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 was going to test these new changes out for my client, but it seems that https://voyager.lemmy.ml is down?
