Hi,
Not sure if its ok to ask questions in here...?
I'm very much a beginner at python but I've managed to get my python script set up to post to a community. The only issue is that I can only post to communities on my own instance.
I feel like I'm missing something obvious related to community_id or community_name.
from pythorhead import Lemmy
lemmy = Lemmy('https://lemmy.fmhy.ml')
lemmy.log_in('username', 'password')
community_id = lemmy.discover_community('test_video_bot')
lemmy.post.create(community_id, url='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riuGVkq2DKw', name='Football Highlights')
Above is my current code which works but if I remove the 'test_video_bot' community on my instance and replace it with 'lemmy.world/c/football' or 'lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/football@lemmy.world' I get two errors:
Error encountered while Request.GET: {"error":"couldnt_find_community"}
Error encountered while Request.POST: Json deserialize error: invalid type: null, expected i32 at line 1 column 21
It's as if it's only searching my own instance and I'm not sure how to tell it to look elsewhere or if it's not possible yet to do this on pythorhead.
Thanks for any suggestions you can give to help with this issue.
