Not sure if this belongs here, feel free to remove it if not.

I made an iOS Shortcut, which is kind of a tiny Lemmy app. It lets you log in to one account and then submit a post to one of your subscribed communities.

There’s currently one Shortcut that uses this to share an article from anywhere. It automatically grabs the title, url and optionally generates a tldr via ChatGPT.

The main shortcut takes care of posting the info, so if you want to make your own to post something else that should be relatively easy to do. If there’s anything else you want to do with shortcuts and the Lemmy API you can use this as a starting point which should hopefully make it much easier.

Not that easy to set up, but it worked, thank you 🙏 ! :-)

Thanks for giving it a shot, I’m glad it’s working. Having multiple shortcuts is always a bit of a pain to share/set up, but it keeps things a bit more modular. Maybe this should’ve just been a single shortcut, everything else was hopefully not too confusing :)

Thank you ! :-)
Modular is good. 👍
(My understanding of iOS scripts is quite basic, hence a little learning curve for this one, but all good in the end. 😎)
