I have installed the Lemmy using docker. I need to use API to create a community but it is not allowing me to POST the data. I followed all the steps which is required for creating community using API. Below are the steps I am using for creating a community. Using POSTMAN Headers : Content-Type : application/json

Body parameters name: testing title: testing auth: string

You shouldn't post the auth value here - it works like a username and password.

He meant remove it from the post, anyone can use it to make requests to your server lol

do you have thought on this post?

The guy below was right. Your hitting the wrong url. If that didn’t fix it, it’s probably your postman set up. Does curl work? Ex:

curl -i -H
"Content-Type: application/json"
-X POST
-d '{ "auth": "you key", "name": "some name", "title": "some name" }'
