You should use archive.org or archive.today links.

The best way to influence the Domain Authority metric is to improve your site’s overall SEO health, with a particular focus on the quality and quantity of external links pointing to your site.

You can use the Wayback machine addon to easily get archived links https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wayback-machine_new/.

And a bookmarklet for archive.today:

javascript:void(open('https://archive.today/?run=1&url='+encodeURIComponent(document.location)))

FYI, if you’re worried about archive.today going down and references being lost, you can manually leave in the original URL by adding https://archive.ph/o/ in front of any URL, after you archive it. IE: https://archive.ph/o/https://sh.itjust.works/post/26060585 will redirect to the archived page, if it exists.

    Am I the only one who doesn’t care that much? People should be putting as much of the text/image directly into the body of their lemmy posts anyway to save clicks, a link to reddit when attribution feels necessary seems more appropriate in most cases because if I click the link I probably want to go to the actual source of info not an archive.

    I’ll passively watch reddit kill itself with bad decisions I just don’t see the point in going out of my way to avoid linking reddit.
