I just use ChatGPT with JetBrains tools, it works pretty well. Make sure you go for the paid model, though. It really is better than the free one, and I often use it to lay groundwork that I flesh out in the free model.

Lemmy API Examples (beehaw.org)

I'm looking for examples of calls to the Lemmy API.. I've been to the following link in the documentation:

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/contributors/04-api.html

However I don't see any direct examples of uses of the API for common cases, like creating a post, creating a comment or getting either type of item. Some of the linked documentation from that page points to what I believe is typescript code for interfaces, but that does not really have examples of actually calling those interfaces. I can make some logical guesses at to what the calls should be, but I don't have a way to really verify this yet.

Does anyone have some working examples they can post?

That is awesome! how soon until Beehaw is federated with them?

How about extending the software so that communities replicate between sets of servers over time? That way, things are more robust even if one server goes down.

Has anyone considered creating a bridging API interface for lemmy? Something that can translate between the lemmy and reddit API to make this easier?

What's your favorite construct in SQL? (beehaw.org)

For me, it's CTE's. I find it amazing to complete a calculation with clear intermediate steps, and goes a long way towards convincing people to use SQL rather than Excel to perform calculations on large tables of data.

What construct do you like using on a daily basis?
