Lemmy API: how to get list of followed/subscribed communities.

## Context
Using the lemmy API, I'm trying to get a list of sublemmies (lemmy communities) that a user is following.

Reading the documentation, I using the [`/site`](https://join-lemmy.org/api/classes/LemmyHttp.html#getSite) endpoint, I should be able to get a response containing a [`my_user`](https://join-lemmy.org/api/interfaces/GetSiteResponse.html#my_user) property.

However, when I query it, the response never contains the `my_user` property. I've tried querying with and without sending the [`auth`](https://join-lemmy.org/api/interfaces/GetSite.html#auth) property.

I couldn't find any documentation on when the optional `my_user` property is returned. I'm assuming it required authentication.

I've tried querying using rust, insomnia and curl. Here are some of the curl queries (without real credentials of course):

### Getting JWT token
#### Query
```
curl \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-X POST \
-d '{
    "username_or_email": "<username>",
    "password": "<password>"
}' https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/user/login

```

#### Response

```
{"jwt":"<redacted>","registration_created":false,"verify_email_sent":false}
```

### Using `jq` to list top level keys from the response:
#### Query
```
curl \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -X GET \
      -d '{
      "auth": "<JWT token generated via the /login endpoint>"
  }' \
      https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/site\
  | jq 'keys'
```
#### Response (parsed by `jq`)

Notice this doesn't include any `my_user` property.
