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.

    It currently downloads a entire community and not a single user. I guess we could add that if that’s more interesting to you.

      could be useful, I back my stuff up prior to posting but also if my computer and backups crashed I guess this would serve as an additional backup

      it just downloads the pics and titles right tho, not text within text posts?

        Pics title and body. Not any pictures uploaded within the body. And no comments yet. All these could be added.

        this does back up the most important bits and was pretty minimal in effort
