Error message

isto é um sub ou um perfil: cole o link de um post

What it means

Target-kind guard in reddit download run: the parsed link points at a subreddit or user profile rather than an individual post, and those targets have no single post media to download, so the run refuses and asks for a post link.

Solutions

1. Navigate into a specific post and use its /comments/<id>/ URL
2. If you need multiple posts from a sub/user, use the listing/bulk-download tool instead of this one
3. Strip trailing sub or /user segments and append the post id path

Example fix

// before
url: "https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/"
// after
url: "https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/abc123/title/"

fn is_listing_url(url: &str) -> bool {
    let p = url.trim_end_matches('/');
    p.contains("reddit.com/r/") && p.matches('/').count() <= 5
        || p.contains("reddit.com/user/") && p.matches('/').count() <= 5
}
// if is_listing_url(&opts.url) { /* prompt for a specific post */ }

fn url_is_single_post(url: &str) -> bool {
    url.contains("reddit.com") && url.contains("/comments/")
}

When it happens

Trigger: Passing https://reddit.com/r/<sub> or https://reddit.com/u/<user> (or /user/<name>) URLs to baixa_um_video_de_verdade / baixa_uma_galeria_de_verdade.

Common situations: Copying the URL from a subreddit or profile tab instead of opening a post first; intending bulk download and calling the single-post API by mistake.
