@npub10sy…cdrt Sure thing.
Say you want to read paywalled WaPo article https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/11/10/women-trump-protest-election-harris/
Instead, copy the URL (above), and paste it in the red box in the archive.ph site and click Save button.
If nobody has previously saved the article, archive.ph will prompt again, then display a page of nonsense, and finally will display the article, with a shortened link in the URL bar which you can share.
If somebody has previously saved the article, archive.ph will show a thumbnail and link to click, which you can also share.
Archive.ph shortens the above WaPo link to https://archive.ph/Orybg
This works for many but not all paywalled sites, not just WaPo.

@npub1p4y…lx2n I'm sure this has been addressed before, but bears repeating here - you wrote "... since a lot of people here didn't want their posts to be more searchable..." but how is that squared with the open RSS feed where anyone can follow all your (or my) posts in a RSS feed reader, with no RSS "off" switch, like is offered in Hometown variant?

@npub1k7q…3lrw Is there an equivalent for shooting the rich into space? Asking for a friend who works at a rocket co.

Brown University has reached an agreement with student protesters to disband tent encampments, and it will hold a formal vote to divest from companies with ties to the occupation state of Israel.

@npub1na3…jx6x I used to follow a Microckscopia accont on the bird site that would publish images of polarized light shone through thin slices of many different kinds of rocks. Any chance you heard of that account, or know anyone doing that?
Here are a couple examples
Edit: Hey #Geologist #Geology #Rockhounds #Microscope
What are some good hashtags to use for these kinds of picture? I have about 150 of them.

@npub145u…hq7w One could almost believe there is a conspiracy in which immigrants would have to turn to cartels because of the border walls, i.e. #Enshittification of the border experience.
