I see, that is a good application. How did Reddit deal with this issue? Lemmy does lots of dumb things by comparison it seems to me. I'd be surprised if reddit required constant polling from automods.
No idea, I didn't do any api development with Reddit, it felt way too oversaturated already. But event subscriptions are a common thing for such use-cases, so my guess would be actually very similar to what I have created here with this package.
Fair enough, but it sounds like the subscription feature should really be built into Lemmy's API. That is, your package is a useful workaround for a shortcoming in Lemmy. It's probably worth fixing Lemmy directly
