You can run an Archive Team container on your computer! It'll help crawl the web and putting stuff into archive.org, based on the current projects.
You don't have to be super technical to do this, but a little computer skill will help you out.
Walkthrough below the cut (tl;dr docker compose + this config, or a vm from here):
also it's using links fetched from other archived public webpages (as opposed to guessing all imgur urls), so its less likely to pick up anyone's secret images they don't wish to be archived
if you missed it, imgur got bought out and announced that they'll be deleting old images and also any NSFW content starting May 15
...
EDIT: if you feel adventurous and want to spin up some freebie cloud machines to do more archival, here's some free trials from cloud providers:
- Google Cloud trial with $300 of credits
- DigitalOcean trial with $200 of credits
- Azure trial with $200 of credits
(not affiliated, just want to enable you to go make a bunch of extra archivers if you want)
