Is it possible for Lemmy to send me a notification whenever somebody submits a new post to a specific community (one that I own)?
I started a project-specific community [email protected] that’s supposed to be a support forum, and I have missed a few posts for many hours because there are no notifications.
I’d be ok too if there was a simple API and I’d have to write a small script, but it’d be nicer if it was built-in
Thanks dude. I’m going to try the curl route. What do you mean by it sends you every post? Isn’t that what I want?
Yeah but you would have to know what posts are new and not already known.
That’s what saving the IDs is for right? It’s easy enough to do in a bash script I think. I’ll post it here later, assuming I get it to work.
But i would not know how to save the ids there. But good luck :)
Here ya go. ChatGPT did all the hard work: https://chat.openai.com/share/7703dbe5-6801-4d5b-8d56-c3f18ca3ac4a
Edit: here’s a manually refined version: https://gist.github.com/binwiederhier/70f13b7c7338a2b75e15438b5567a6d6
Ah ok now i know how to save things in files with bash :)
