Dead Lemmy instance, how/where to find backup of the post that was on the offline instance?
Please what are the easiest and fastest steps in order to find backup of a currently unavailable post thanks to no longer running Lemmy instance?
Lets say it is this post we are reading, that become offline. I am not asking for the links to instances that hosts it, but for the way on how to discover all the instances myself.
open one after another and under magnifier button, search for the same post ID (number) as your dead link has. One can also search for the post title (while making sure that the search scope is everywhere, not local).
What are the steps to discover it knowing ONLY lets say "lemmings.world/post/10530999" and nothing else. If that is not possible, then knowing title "Dead Lemmy instance, how/where to find backup of the post that was on the offline instance?" and mentioned URL, while not knowing parent community name or the instance from which the post originated.
I'm not sure if there is a way to quickly find this. The best bet is probably trying the bigger instances, and seeing if it's accessible through them.
You've made me think now: it might be a nice project for a some instance admins to flag when an instance they had received posts from goes offline. (I should probably check what I have from feddit.de!)
Well, I would opt for a search through Kagi using the fediverse lense. But you basically edited your post on how it would need to be done otherwise And answered your own question. There’s also https://fedi-search.com/
The post ID isn’t universal when you’re putting it in another instance search bar. You have to use the entire URL of the originating instance.
