Was testing wget on Ubuntu against Piefed pages as a learning exercise.

I’ve been trying to understand how Reddit style platforms are structured, so I experimented a bit with wget on Ubuntu using Piefed as a reference. The idea was simple, mirror pages locally and study how everything connects, links, assets, layouts.

Here’s the logic I used:
Code:
wget –mirror –convert-links –adjust-extension –page-requisites –no-parent https://example.com

It helped me see how pages are stitched together and how content flows. Not perfect, but solid for learning how these systems are built.
Here's the discussion forum: Zyke I cloned the UI from Piefed and did some UI tweaks.
If you think I did a great job, then I'd really appreciate your feed back here: https://zyke.social/z/campuslife/p/...puter-science-uniuyo?commentId=1&action=reply
