Loading data in an SSR'ed component

[eecue]

I have a component that injects a photo gallery based on a keyword string in a blog post. It works fine when I use onMount but I want to have this pre-rendered/SSR as my whole site is static. I can't figure out how to make it work. I saw this thread but I wasn't able to get it working for my use case:

Unfortunately, I don't think there is data loading at the component level. It is only for pages and layouts.
See the following regarding data loading https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/load

That's unfortunate.

Its actually better for page performance to fetch all the data in parallel for your page using the load functions. Slow /non-important requests can be streamed https://svelte.dev/blog/streaming-snapshots-sveltekit

All my pages are pre-rendered static html as noted above.
