Is Firefish gone for good now? Many of the links I had saved are redirecting to other stuff now (lemmy.ca)

Links below:

  • https://firefish.social/ - Redirects to a Korean warranty (?) company
  • joinfirefish.org - Domain is available, but very expensive
  • https://vancity.social/ - Seems to time out after some time

Unfamiliar with it, but in the regard of instances going down, specially after my previous main instance died with no signs of returning (again), if you find any interesting posts even on instances seemingly stable, I think it is a good idea to back up those pages. Personally, I would propose methods like Internet Archive's Wayback Machine and its alternatives like Archive Today, the print to PDF option from browsers, and/or saving a given page as a MHTML bundle.

Internet Archive's Wayback Machine

Seconded. They even have a Firefox extension which makes saving pages super easy, or even automatic if you want.
