🦔 Lemmy Community Posts Scraper

🚀 Pull Lemmy Community Posts data in seconds. Pull community posts from any Lemmy instance with score, comments and creator.

🕒 Last updated 2026-05-27 · 📊 13 fields per record · Public source · No login required

The Lemmy Community Posts Scraper turns the public Lemmy feed into clean, structured rows you can route to a warehouse, dashboard or downstream pipeline. No login, no manual copy-paste.

It is built for analysts, researchers and product teams who need the same data the source publishes, only normalised and ready to query.

📋 What the Lemmy Community Posts Scraper does

• Queries Lemmy for the latest records
• Supports targeted filtering via the input parameters
• Returns structured records with 13 fields, no scraping artifacts
• Handles pagination automatically up to your maxItems limit
• Cleans HTML entities and normalises dates and identifiers
• Delivers results to the Apify dataset, ready to query
