What it does

Lemmy is a self-hostable, open-source Reddit alternative with near-zero scraping competition on Apify (the leading actor has 2 users). This actor talks to any Lemmy instance's open REST API and returns structured post + community data.

Modes

Mode	What it returns
Posts	Recent posts in a community: title, body, URL, score, votes, comments, creator
Communities	Search communities: name, subscriber count, post count, description
Search	Search posts across the instance by keyword

Example Inputs

Latest posts in !technology on lemmy.ml

{ "mode": "posts", "communityName": "technology", "instance": "lemmy.ml", "maxResults": 20 }

Find communities about Linux

{ "mode": "communities", "query": "linux", "instance": "lemmy.ml", "maxResults": 10 }

Search posts on a different instance

{ "mode": "search", "query": "self hosting", "instance": "sh.itjust.works", "maxResults": 50 }

Output

Rows carry source_mode plus: community_name, post_name, post_body, post_url, score, upvotes, downvotes, comment_count, creator, published, instance, scraped_at.

Data Source

Lemmy HTTP API — free, open, no auth for public data.

Use Cases

Fediverse monitoring: track communities and trending posts
Content research: niche community insights
Community discovery: find engaged communities by topic

Limitations

Only public posts/communities (no authenticated private communities)
Instance-dependent rate limits
