It’s a pattern. And there is no FOSS tool for users to backup their Lemmy content, AFAIK.

Would browser plugins count? SingleFile comes to mind: https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile

    I use the singlefile extension all the time, but I would not use it for this. Saving a page takes 5-10 seconds. Finding all threads for which I participated would probably take ~2 seconds per thread, and many would be repeated because a profile timeline would have many going to the same thread (once per post), and they would be in the sequence posted not ordered by thread. Same problem for the notifications timeline. I believe it would take ~4 hours of painful manual labor for every 1000 threads. Not how I want to spend my time.

    Then note as well a shit ton of html files is not really usable. It could not easily be parsed and reposted using another account.

    SDF's Lemmy instance is regularly down - sometimes for weeks at a time.
    SDF's Pixelfed was broken yesterday
    SDF's PeerTube instance is slower than an asthmatic sleuth on sedative

    I've migrated the communities I had going on SDF's Lemmy instance to PieFed a few months ago. I should have done that a long time ago. Last week I created a new Peertube account on peertube.wtf. And yesterday, I finally created a new Pixelfed account on pixl.fi. Now I'm finally free from SDF.

    I donated to SDF. Worst money I spent in a long time.
