I have installed the Lemmy using docker. I need to use API to create a community but it is not allowing me to POST the data. I followed all the steps which is required for creating community using API. Below are the steps I am using for creating a community. Using POSTMAN Headers : Content-Type : application/json

Body parameters name: testing title: testing auth: string

    You shouldn’t post the auth value here - it works like a username and password.

            The guy below was right. Your hitting the wrong url. If that didn’t fix it, it’s probably your postman set up. Does curl work? Ex:

            curl -i -H
            “Content-Type: application/json”
            -X POST
            -d ‘{ “auth”: “you key”, “name”: “some name”, “title”: “some name” }’
            https://someurl.com/api/v3/community
