Please what are the easiest and fastest steps in order to find backup of a currently unavailable post thanks to no longer running Lemmy instance?
Lets say it is this post we are reading, that become offline. I am not asking for the links to instances that hosts it, but for the way on how to discover all the instances myself.
So far I have found only this way:
open largest instances list: https://lemmyverse.net/?order=posts&open=true
open one after another and under magnifier button, search for the same post ID (number) as your dead link has. One can also search for the post title (while making sure that the search scope is everywhere, not local).
Summary: I wanted to see if I can synchronize Firefox and ProtonPass passwords. It works more or less. One just need to pay attention to using only one or another for saving passwords and if later wanted to switch, just delete outdated app passwords database and import other app passwords. NOTE: If you choose to delete ProtonPass logins and import 3rd party logins, it will possibly NOT import your 2FA secret and aliases (you would have to move these to a separate vault before deleting everything else!
Here is exactly written on what i did and what I have faced in July 2024 (maybe later version of the Proton Pass will work better).
After backing up Firefox browser data/profile and exporting its passwords at "about:logins" page (three dots in the top corner), i have deleted all Firefox passwords (from same three dots menu). Then enabled Firefox passwords import (there were no import entry in that three dots menu) by going to "about:config" and searching for "signon.management.page.fileImport.enabled" double-clicking "false" to set it to "true". Reloaded "about:logins" page and then again using three dots menu imported the .csv export file made by the Proton Pass. Result:
New logins added: 1,808
Existing logins updated: 0
Duplicate logins found: 28 (not imported)
Errors: 12 (not imported)
Under details, i could see which rows was problematic (only problem type was "Missing url") and after opening .csv file in a Calc editor i could see that the problematic rows were indeed "missing url" (or anything) in "url" row but the "name" field had the domain name. The problematic rows were almost exclusively Proton aliases (and these does not need any fixing and their later import into Proton Pass failed anyway - in the current version of the Pass that I have used), yet not knowing that at the moment, I have fixed all rows with missing url by copying name into url and prefixing with https:// using Linux command:
awk 'BEGIN{FS=OFS=","} $3=="" {$3="https://" $2} 1' "input.csv" > output_tmp && mv output_tmp "output.csv"
For Windows, this may work: for /f "tokens=1-7 delims=," %a in (input.csv) do @echo %a,%b,%c,%d,%e,%f,%g,%h,%i >> output_tmp && move /y output_tmp output.csv
Upon import of the fixed file, there was same number of errors and this time it was "Missing password".
I did insert a random passwords by modifying previous command like this: awk 'BEGIN{FS=OFS=","} $5=="" {$5="ng21@Ak" $9} 1' "input.csv" > tmp && mv tmp "output.csv"
.csv file can be opened inside LibreOffice Calc (or other table processor), where it is visible in easy to read format.
So after all, import from Proton Pass using .csv file was successful (despite a few harmless errors).
Opposite direction - synchronizing from Firefox to ProtonPass may be problematic. At least in my case was. Because Proton Pass did not delete any duplicates. So if Proton Pass is outdated and Firefox has all ProtonPass items(logins) + new items, it can be done as follows, yet please note that deleting Pass logins and importing 3rd party app logins (Firefox) will possibly not import 2FA settings, so if you are using 2FA, make sure you save private keys so you can setup it again later - keys are visible when editing login with 2FA): Export Proton Pass for backup purpose. Create new vault and move to it all email aliases (meaning aliases not regular logins). Delete vault with logins and create new one and fill it with Firefox .csv file.
When there is only one vault in Proton Pass, it seems like the option to Delete vault is inactive/disabled and can not be clicked.
After creating second vault, it worked to delete first (main one). It is a bit weird, no explanation why i was unable to delete.

Having account on https://lemmings.world, like 10 hours ago I have been trying to post a reply in a community that is hosted on a different instance (monero.town), the progress wheel was constantly turning on the Repply button and the browser developer console (F12) shown Error 502 Bad gateway ("invalid response from the upstream server" - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/502). "Bad gateway" error is shown by the Lemmy on login form at lemmings.world.
That turning wheel also appears on a new post/topic submission button (creating topic on external lemmy.ml community being on lemmings.world ).
After trying to search in my home instance, https://lemmings.world/search?q=502+error&type=All&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll It output nothing and the console again shown Error 502:
...
GET https://lemmings.world/api/v3/resolve_object?q=502 error [HTTP/1.1 502 Bad Gateway 0ms]
XHRGET https://lemmings.world/api/v3/user/report_count? [HTTP/1.1 502 Bad Gateway 0ms] ...

Some topic communities have very low member and post count and exist across various servers under various names. Can i add single post to lets say 4 on-topic communities or is it considered a bad idea. I am aware that I may be searching across different servers and communities so the duplicity is not ideal, but in terms of exposure in small communities, I would really like to do said duplicity.
When I open certain small external community that i am subscribbed to https://lemmings.world/c/session@lemmy.ml , i see that moderator list is empty, yet when i visit same community via its parent domain https://lemmy.ml/c/session , i can see one moderator name. Clicking it, cause only page header and footer with no content https://lemmy.ml/u/Seb3thehacker , reloading page (F5) cause error couldnt_find_person. I am not logged in/nor registered on that external instance (lemmy.ml).
So this is confusing, how to become a moderator of an external community? Docs says that i do not need to register on it: "Community moderation can be done over federation, you don't need to be registered on the same instance where the community is hosted". Yet it does not explain steps to do. As I have mentioned, i am unable to contact current moderator. I guess one of my options may be to wait and see if current mod find me worthy and adds me as a mod. But i would like to know other options.
For example on my home instance i visit never before visited URL: https://lemmings.world/c/qbittorrent@lemmy.ml
(I suspect that the home instance server were not aware about this external community at the time i have tried)
and it says "There was an error on the server. Try refreshing your browser." ... "The server returned this error: unknown."
Yet when i refresh/reload the page using F5 key like 1-2 seconds later, it loads the external community.
Can this be fixed so it reloads the page automatically or does not show this "unknown" error page and loads the external community directly even with some delay, so it does not confuse user and save the time?
