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.
So far I have found only this way:
-
open largest instances list: https://lemmyverse.net/?order=posts&open=true
-
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).
View the community that had that post from that instance on other instances. Should still be there, right?
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.
If you know the url, that can be put into the search on instances too.

Search by post, paste title, make sure you’re searching all communities and not just local.
Or paste the URL in the search.
