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.
The content isn’t gone.
It’s still retained by the various instances that lemm.ee federated with, and entering the url of a lemm.ee post on those instances should still let you find their local copies if they have it.
yeah but it turns out a lot of my lemm.ee links are not actually to content that’s originating from there, but lemm.ee-view links for which if I search, there’s no result.
Fortunately I also have the title and image permanently loaded for these links, so I can find them with some manual work
