How to create a post from an external fediverse account? (lemmy.ml)

I see that I can comment on a post from an external account, and I also see that I can even make an external account a moderator in a community I administer. The question is, how can an external account create a post in a community it is subscribed to? Does that account have to create an account in the lemmy instance and login first?

I'd be interested in knowing this too. I'm in the process of building AP support into my website and I'd like to be able to post to Lemmy communities from my site.

I know "group support" is required, but I specifically would need to know stuff about addressing and the message format. Are Lemmy posts Link objects? Do I put the community's id in the to field or audience.

Lemmy actually has some high-level federation docs here
