Lemmy¶

This engine uses the Lemmy API (https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/search), which is documented at lemmy-js-client / Interface Search. Since Lemmy is federated, results are from many different, independent lemmy instances, and not only the official one.

Configuration ¶

The engine has the following additional settings:

base_url
lemmy_type

This implementation is used by different lemmy engines in the settings.yml:

- name: lemmy communities
  lemmy_type: Communities
  ...
- name: lemmy users
  lemmy_type: Users
  ...
- name: lemmy posts
  lemmy_type: Posts
  ...
- name: lemmy comments
  lemmy_type: Comments
  ...

Implementations ¶

searx.engines.lemmy.base_url = 'https://lemmy.ml/'¶: By default, https://lemmy.ml is used for providing the results. If you want to use a different lemmy instance, you can specify base_url.

searx.engines.lemmy.lemmy_type = 'Communities'¶: Any of Communities, Users, Posts, Comments
