Hi lemmy; I've made a program that will download all the post and images for a lemmy community. It downloads them into a html file. This way users don't have to worry about losing all their post because they can download the whole community themselves.

Demo https://files.catbox.moe/8wgbm4.mp4

I hope someone finds this useful. Someone asked me for it so I provided it.

Seems like a very useful project. You can add a link to it in the Lemmy docs if you want.

Btw instead of copy-pasting the structs from Lemmy into your project, you could pull them directly from crates.io. Disadvantage is that it will force you to pull in lot of dependencies that have to be compiled, but that could probably be avoided in the future by adding feature flags to Lemmy crates.
