Lemmy 0.18.0 does not work when Firefox or Chrome saves a web page when viewing a Post ("Page Not Found")

[RocketDerp]

Requirements

• This is a bug report, and if not, please post to https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support instead.
• Please check to see if this issue already exists.
• It's a single bug. Do not report multiple bugs in one issue.
• It's a frontend issue, not a backend issue; Otherwise please create an issue on the backend repo instead.

Summary

Something about the way the page is dynamically generated for the web browser results in no ability to "save as..." the web page on a desktop computer using either Firefox or Chrome browser. You end up saving a file that has none of the post or comment content from Lemmy.

Saves are often more useful than screenshots...

Steps to Reproduce

1. go to a lemmy post on lemmy.ml
2. Try to save in Firefox
3. Try to save in Chrome
4. Open the saved page, the content is not there

Technical Details

I don't think the OS is relevant, these browsers are pretty consistent on desktop platforms, and both major browsers have the same problem.

I don’t see this being a feature added any time soon. @dessalines Feel free to reopen if you disagree.

It's deliberately save-hostile?

It relies on JavaScript to build the frontend experience. It would take significant overhaul to make dynamic pages “Save as…”-friendly, eg. full SSR support.

There’s hundreds of bugs that are higher priority right now that don’t require significant work. If you feel inclined, you’re welcome to make a PR, I’m sure it would be well received. Thanks.
