[BUG] cannot download user or saved posts; authentication requirement not communicated to the user

[Zireael07]

• [X] I am reporting a bug.
• [X] I am running the latest version of BDfR
• [X] I have read the Opening an issue

Description

bdfr download -u xxxx -v ./reddit doesn't download anything

adding -v reveals that it's using unaunthenticated instance (and it never asked for authentication unlike what README says)

Command

See above

Environment (please complete the following information)

• OS: [Linux Manjaro
• Python version: 3.10

Logs

Nothing to paste because that initial run didn't give anything in log, and now I've run it again properly, there is no longer the initial log...

What you are doing is downloading the posts made by the specified user. To download the saved posts, use --saved. Of course you need to authenticate because your saved posts aren't visible to anyone except you.

[Zireael07]

Yes, I know. But neither trying to download user's posts nor saved posts does anything.

The thing is, it never prompts me to authenticate. Without -v there is literally ZERO feedback to end user what's going wrong.

By trial and error, I found out reversing the parameters bdfr clone ./reddit -u xxxx DOES prompt for authenticate parameter. When I gave it, and followed the instructions, it finally worked

README claims the order is bdfr [options] [output] and so does --help.

Also README claims "most users won't need authentication" which isn't true as wanting to download saved posts is how many people learn this tool exists.

Maybe change the title to be more indicative of the problem then.

Changed the title now that I know more about what happened
