unfortunately I realized too late that I have had hundreds of saved links to posts and comments from there, so I did not have enough time to save them, but anyways it is interesting that maybe a third of the post links I could try were dead. I think linkrot is happening much faster here than on reddit, even if just counting deleted posts.

Deleting your account deletes your content, unlike deleting your Reddit account. Hence the linkrot.

I learnt pretty early on that saving posts using the save button was not a good way to save the information ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Yeah bookmarks are a lot better than using specific save systems

Bookmarks won't help if the content gets removed. You've got to copy the important information elsewhere.

I tend to use either a note app (Joplin) or a self-hosted wiki for that.

I always take a screenshot because I am lazy but just copying the text, like you say, is better
