lemm.ee has shut down at 00:14 UTC.

unfortunately I realized too late that I have had hundreds of saved links to posts and comments from there, so I did not have enough time to save them, but anyways it is interesting that maybe a third of the post links I could try were dead. I think linkrot is happening much faster here than on reddit, even if just counting deleted posts.

Are you sure? Are lemm.ee posts showing as deleted for you? It looks like the copies of anything posted to lemm.ee still exist on the instances that it was federated with. Try this link !animation@lemm.ee, I am pretty sure it should still work on your instance.

It's not all the lemm.ee posts, just a significant amount of them.

also in the meantime I realized my hundreds of lemm.ee links are not actually links to lemm.ee hosted posts, but just links to the lemm.ee view of them. I was just very often copying the wrong link that still worked, but wasn't the definitive one
