Please what are the easiest and fastest steps in order to find backup of a currently unavailable post thanks to no longer running Lemmy instance?

Lets say it is this post we are reading, that become offline. I am not asking for the links to instances that hosts it, but for the way on how to discover all the instances myself.

So far I have found only this way:

  1. open largest instances list: https://lemmyverse.net/?order=posts&open=true
  2. open one after another and under magnifier button, search for the same post ID (number) as your dead link has

    no. the verse just isnt designed like that. you subscribe to remote content, you ingest remote content. its not laid out for you to discover the same content in remote sites.

    the fediverse is not a simple ‘replicate all content everywhere’

    its a bunch of servers that can subscribe to similar content from eachother as requested

    when they get that content, they can do (display it) however they want.
