Links are dying

3 years ago by muffin to c/community

Since Twitter restricted people from looking at their website, lots of people migrate to mastodon instances. The more permissive of them with open registration (like pawoo for example) are being DDosed into the ground right now.

People are having a tough time using many Lemmy communities that are essentially just lists of links to outside content, like my c/dolls and c/schooluniforms, since much of the links are dead.

Since I am a data hoarder, I of course have much of the content I would like to post saved locally - but I do not want to repost some else's work without their permission and without linking to their online presence, like many imageboards unfortunately do.

Do you think it would be okay for me to post the pictures directly to reddthat (by uploading them here), but still providing the link where the post was originally made? (that may or may not work depending on the mood of whoever feels like they have to restrict their social network)

Personally I think it's not ok even though intentions are good. Might be better to ask the owners to migrate their content here in the long run.

Thank you for your answer. I thought so too - I will have to find a different solution. If you have any suggestions, feel free to share.
