Guten Tag Lemmites.

I’m new to Lemmy, and an overall novice in the world of programming. I noticed though that many people cited the complexity of the federated system at first as an initial turnoff, and I couldn’t help but realize that Lemmy could reach a much greater critical mass if third party services stepped in to streamline the process.

This is where I took inspiration from many posts I’ve seen on here, and I want to create a simple app, website, addon, whatever works best, where curated “bundles” of communities from all major instances are packaged together and have their own feed. Such as a gaming “bundle” that takes the major gaming communities from major instances. You get the point.

What resources should I know of before using this? I know that I will have to learn the Rust language for this. I may be way, way in over my head. I’ve never really messed with web development too much outside of a basic website of HTML, CSS, and minimal JavaScript. What’s the general pipeline of something like this? And what resources are there in terms of Lemmy API/source code?

Sorry if this question seems vague, I wish I knew more to help specify it haha.
