Support text posts and video

[chris-y]

Doesn't support text posts - needs a URL and assumes it's a picture.

Don't know if there is any way to tell if a URL isn't an image (from the Lemmy API)

I did add a feature to force only images to be included. This is a precursor to allowing other content types as they need to be handled differently to images, and some of our communities need the non-image posts filtered out as we want to showcase images, not accidentally get a META post featured.

This needs to be the next thing I work on.

I think we have four main types of posts;

• Images
  • Images
    These are already handled
• Text
  • Posts with just text and no link
    Post a summary (first x characters) along with the title. (maybe just the title - see Support text posts and video #8 (comment))
• URL
  • Posts with a link to another site/article
    We could post a summary of the body, but sometimes there's nothing. Maybe summarise the website (if we can figure a sensible way of doing this - experimenting with tldrthis and smmry)
• Video
  • Posts with a video or link to a video
    Ideally we need to post a thumbnail?

@chris-y Do NOT include the body or if you want to make it a setting to disable it for specific communities. Dad jokes for example has punchlines in the body and that would spoiler it.

Opened #36 which we might need for videos.

Need to check what we get as URL for the top post when it doesn't contain an image.

I think this is done bar allowing the description to be disabled. That will wait until we have a community which requires it.
