With the amount of reposts from reddit, does that make Lemmy an archival website more than a social media?

No cause shit just keeps getting deleted from reddit for some reason.

I know so many posts that are posted, reach hot, then mods remove it after like 24 hours. I have no Idea what does doing that serve.

So, youtube is archiving parts of tiktok? It’s just nested arching all the way down?

Lemmy is reddit with blackjack and hookers. But without the blackjack and hookers.

The OC on Lemmy is the comments, not the posts

I don't typically comment or get into discussions involving current affairs on archival websites.

So no.
