Get Community (and Instance) Info/Sidebar

[rcmaehl]

Hi,

Can a feature be added to get the source text of a communities' (and instances') sidebar? I would like to be able to limit where my bot is run and allowing instance and community owners to set specific markdown in the sidebar seems like the easiest way to do this.

Thanks!

The community sidebar is included in responses for getting posts and comments. Suppose you have a post handler for example and that the arg for that handler is called postView: you can get it at postView.community.description. The bot library currently doesn't have a good way to check instance sidebars.
