Emit error logging when community is not found #19

Closed doug-wade closed 9 months ago

doug-wade commented 9 months ago

I made a mistake in my config.yaml where I misspelled the name of my community and my posts were not being created in that community. There wasn't any indication that there was a problem with the community not existing or not being found, which made it hard to diagnose the issue. I think the change is probably updating the logging here to be a bit more descriptive, though I think there is likely also upstream work that could be done in LemmyBot to improve the error it returns.

Here is my error logging from the relevant timeframe:
