I’m looking to get a lemmy bot figured out for posting sports scores in real-time (or near it) like Reddit had for NHL games. The lemmy api reference states that rust has the api as a loadable library, but I’ve only ever done C/C++ and python. Anything Coursera style to get a basic overview of how to get started in Rust?

I did also see lemmy-bot but it looks like it doesn’t handle post editing at the moment, and not sure i really want to learn how to use npm to be honest.

    If you would like to use this project to learn Rust, go for it! However, there are utilities that will convert Lemmy’s TypeScript to Python. There are also a few Lemmy Python packages on GitHub.
