Is there an open source package that the Internet Archive runs? What is it? I assume sites like archive.is run the same. I’d like to know if I can also run it for self-hosted archiving.
It seems like it’s written in Python too, which means I can maintain it if need be.
Oh boy I wish I had set this up many years ago. I wouldn’t have to resort to scouring !antiquememesroadshow for the top quality memes of the past when I need them…
On a far side of the moon note, I wonder if ActivityPub could be used to federate multiple archiveboxes to create a more resilient Internet Archive alternative. 🤔 Then integrate that with Lemmy to autoarchive links from posts. Aaand lemmy.world ran out of disk space. 🤣
Yeah, I might be to blame for some of that shit. I started !antiquememesroadshow a few months ago, then it blew up and started covering c/all, then it spread like herpes to the other meme communities.
I’m probably not the best person to answer because I blocked !memes but it seems like the latest trend is to post old school memes. It gives the older users a sense of nostalgia to a time in the early days if the internet. So I suspect a lot of people have focused on !antiquememesroadshow since it’s now a community.
Just like any internet trend, it will come and go quickly until the next fun and exciting thing takes its place.

Why are most memes on Lemmy from 5-10 years ago?
I’m glad people are active, but why are the most upvoted memes things from years ago? Bots? Users desperate for content?
NICE FUCKING TEAPOT MATE (i.imgur.com)
What happened to the previous meme content/posters?
I’m not trying to hate on the “old memes” in any way, but what happened to all the meme content on Lemmy being made before the last few days?...
In 24hours, Meme about old memes pushes c/AntiqueMemesRoadShow to 7th largest community with "meme" in the title (lemmy.world)
!antiquememesroadshowThat escalated quickly....
