v0.1.2

fb reads public Facebook groups in full.

Highlights

• fb group now returns a group's name, description, cover image, privacy, and URL, read from the same server-rendered page everything else uses.
• A group feed lists its posts, and each post carries its id, author, date, reaction and comment counts, media, permalink, and text.
• Comments on a group post come back through the normal post read, so a public group can be walked end to end.

fb group python -o json
fb group python --posts -n 20 -o jsonl
fb post <group-post-url> --comments -o jsonl

Member count is not part of the crawler surface, so it is only filled in when the group description spells it out. Private groups exit 4.
