Pending Automatically try to archive the link before posting it to the page

Archive.is has an api for this.

The only issue I see here (other than server and programming time) is that some pages do not report their title correctly, especially ones that are owned by Verizon Media.

This would also have the effect of rate-limiting unless you did the archiving on your own machine beforehand.

It can, but you generally get the idea of what's trying to be said. A fucked up wall of text with the original story is better than a 404.

About this sub

If you wish to report a bug, please do so on /s/Poaldev.

The official sub created to allow the Poal community to suggest ideas on how Poal can be improved while at the same time allowing people to comment and vote on suggested ideas.

This will make it easier for people to hear what the community has to say and to keep a record of what people wish for.

Keep your ideas short, if possible, narrow it down to one sentence. Anything longer than that will likely go unnoticed. Be straightforward.
