it would be really great to have a lemmy client (or feature of existing client) that allows for batch downloading of a user specified list of communities.
this would allow a user to download all the content for the day or week on wifi internet and then depart from the source of internet but slowly & carefully read a selection of material(text posts, comment discussion, and even images like memes).
one benefit is that it would be extra impossible to see what users are loading/viewing because they already loaded everything and are disconnected from the internet entirely. performance is also good because there is no network latency that would be experienced, each time, when accessing the servers.
thats cool. are you sure it works?
how do u do it?
I don’t see why it wouldn’t. You’d just need to research a good RSS app for it. When you look in every community or feed there’s a wifi looking symbol and that is the RSS link you would use for what you’re seeing on your screen.
“good RSS app” <-- maybe this is where my problem is. but i already tried 3 apps from fdroid. i tried lemmy.world and lemmy.ml . what instances are ppl using to do this sucessfully?
Was flym one of the ones you tried?
You would also need to check if RSS fetches the comments
