BTW, what's the difference between this and Pythörhead (apart from being easier to type? :p)

From what I've seen, Pythorhead is focusing on "higher-level" functions, while Plemmy is focusing on LemmyHttp API parity and returning request responses. Who knows, maybe we'll implement some more complex functionality in the future!
Hi there, thanks for working on this! One thing I am trying to do is write a script that fetches all of a particular user's subscribed communities (on any instance). It seems like a fairly simple thing but I can't seem to find any library that offers that functionality at the moment, unless I am missing something.
Another thing I'd like to be able to do is follow a community on a different instance to the user's local instance. I see Plemmy has a follow_community method but it's not clear if it allows following communities on different instances.
Are these things that Plemmy does or will support? It wasn't clear to me from the docs and am just wondering if Plemmy (or any existing library) will work for my use case.
Looking at the LemmyHttp docs, mentioned above, it looks like you probably want to use the ListCommunities resource with the type_ ListingType of "Subscribed".
To do that with Plemmy, it looks like you want to use LemmyHttp(...).list_communities(type_='Subscribed').
Fair warning, I'm making this comment just from reading docs and source code, I haven't had a chance to try this yet.
I'm not sure there's a way to interact with other Lemmy instances at the moment - clearly we can using the UI, but I think the API doesn't have the functionality yet. As soon as this and other features are added I'll aim for a quick implementation!
Interesting, thanks for the explanation. I thought it might be available as I can follow off-instance communities on Jerboa but I haven't dug into the source code there to see how they do it.
