A lot of these links in the original submissions are broken. Would be nice if they could be fixed or archived. I.e: https://www.ycombinator.com/rfs5.html
Ok, I've pinned archive links to the top of those threads.

Hi Dang, how about an archive mirror link next to flag for links older than, say, 30d? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21766547

How can it be automated in a reliable way? Archive links don't necessarily take you to a readable copy of the article. Someone has to check that, no?
There's availability API but it won't tell us if the archived webpage does indeed display content (say, if it was behind a paywall or cookie banner): https://archive.org/help/wayback_api.php
archive.is, which breaks past some of the paywalls, apparently (haven't tried it myself) supports the Memento protocol: https://github.com/palewire/archiveis/blob/master/archiveis/...

Right - that's the problem. It takes a human to tell if the archive link is worth anything.
I do want to do something better with this someday (someyear?) - most likely a way for community members to submit and vet archive links, and then (if so) an "archive" button in the detail bar to point to it.

Don't know why they're pretending it's not, it's literally in their Twitter profile: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36197024
I've got some crazy news for you: you can actually post other people's tweets on HN! Crazy, right? By the way the OP of the Twitter thread commented in that thread you linked. He has the same HN username as Twitter.
