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.
Sounds interesting, what's the size of lemmy stored locally with only text?
I don't know as the (cURL http) API I'm using is confusing for messages so I only have the servers & communities.
If I get it up and running I'll tell :-D
