Instead of building a new ActivityPub implementation, you could just run a regular instance of Lemmy and pull data from it's database directly?
I was using it's APIs. But new restrictions have effectively been put in place that prevent me from using them for what I need. Similar API calls were being made that were causing DDOS attacks on lemmy.world.
As for running a lemmy instance itself. That's a thought but I need the data in a different format to do efficient searches. It's a tricky problem.
