      If I understand correctly, as long as a post was federated to a given instance before lemm.ee shut down, the federated copy of the post should be discoverable by searching that instance for the original lemm.ee URL.

      This search can be done manually, or automatically using tools like Lemmyverse.link or Lemmy Universal Link Switcher. Many mobile apps also have built-in “open in my instance” functionality.

      Wouldn’t editing the posts to change lemm.ee URLs to URLs of arbitrary instances run the risk of breaking these tools?
