I've seen these posts

But actually I haven't been able to figure out exactly how to get the posts a user has made in lemmy. I've seen this page but I think this is for a different lemmy instance, I'm not sure https://join-lemmy.org/api/interfaces/GetPosts.html

Can anyone point me to a documentation on how to make this?

curl 'https://lemmy.world/api/v3/user?username=egeres&sort=New&page=1&limit=20' | jq .posts

https://join-lemmy.org/api/classes/LemmyHttp.html#getPersonDetails

The documentation is really terrible and the developers try to defend it anyways.

Some instances also employ cloudflare or other anti-ddos techniques that make automated API usage impossible.
