Help with Lemmy API (mander.xyz)

I would like to be able to use the command line (curl) to get a list of communities I am currently subscribed to.

I know that there is a full-blown API, but it only briefly covers what it is possible with simple a curl request, and most of it seems to refer to an API that runs in javascript (which seems excessively complex for what I want to do?)

A simple curl request like this seems to work,

curl "https://mander.xyz/api/v3/community/list" | jq

But I wouldn't know how to make it list only communities that I subscribe to? Does anyone know more?

Ok, I'll keep the monologue going: turns out I can loop through pages with that limit:

curl "https://mander.xyz/api/v3/community/list?auth=longstring&type_=Subscribed&limit=50&page=1

And then

curl "https://mander.xyz/api/v3/community/list?auth=longstring&type_=Subscribed&limit=50&page=2

Etc.
