The latter breaks lemmy_crawler as the field is not included in the Lemmy API, but is required when attempting to parse API responses. Should only use serde(skip) to avoid this problem. I also had to add placeholder values so that deserialization works even though these mandatory fields arent being sent by Lemmy.
