Here's a kind of guess on how to create a post using python's requests library:

import requests
import json

# Define the URL for the API endpoint
url = "https://lemmy.ml/api/v1/post"

# Define the headers for the request
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}

# Define the data for the new post
data = {
 "name": "Your Post Title",
 "community_id": 123,  # Replace with your community ID
 "url": "https://your-url.com",  # Optional
 "body": "Your post content",  # Optional
 "nsfw": False,  # Optional
 "language_id": 1,  # Optional, replace with your language ID
 "auth": "your_auth_token_here"
}

# Send the POST request
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data))

# Print the response
print(response.json())

Does this look right? I understand that I'll have to authenticate to the server to do this, but I'm really not sure how to do that.
