How this service works
Search Lemmy (federated Reddit alternative, fully open API) posts across instances. Returns title, community, creator, score, comments, url, body, ap_id (ActivityPub federation ID). Use ?q=YOUR_QUERY plus optional and instance=lemmy.world and limit=10. Built for AI agents researching open-source community sentiment with stable scraper-friendly API (Reddit blocks scraping; Lemmy is permissive). Accepts payment on Base or Solana — either network works.
Output
Returns a list of Lemmy posts matching the query, each with: post title, community name, creator username, score (upvotes), comment count, post URL, post body text, and ap_id (ActivityPub federation identifier for cross-instance tracking).
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Search Lemmy for the top 10 posts about 'Rust programming language' on lemmy.world and tell me what the community is saying — titles, scores, and a snippet of each post body.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://api.x402node.dev/forum/lemmyWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to search open community discussions on the Fediverse/Lemmy without hitting Reddit's anti-scraping restrictions. Ideal for AI agents researching open-source project sentiment, developer community opinion, or niche hobby topics where Lemmy communities are active. Preferable to Reddit scraping tools due to Lemmy's permissive, open API design and ActivityPub federation metadata.

- Specified Lemmy instance is offline or unreachable — returns error or empty result
