# Mastodon Bookmarks Archive
_A small Janet script to archive all your Mastodon bookmarks in Markdown files._
Because Mastodon posts can disappear for a variety of reasons (deletion, defederation, server instance shutdown, ...), it is safer to archive your bookmarks.
Each Markdown file will contain:
- [x] A link to the original post
- [x] The author's handle
- [x] The post's content in HTML
- [x] The media attachments locally downloaded
- [x] If available, the alt text for each media
- [ ] The full thread, if applicable
- [ ] The link card, if any
Most of these values will be in the form of `key:: value` for easy integration with Obsidian's plugin Dataview. A sample script is available [here](./dataview-query.js)
## Setup & Run
- Get an access token for your Mastodon account
