there are flaws with any platform and lemmy has numerous.
the administrator of an instance could decide to shut down the instance, and everything hosted on that instance would become unavailable to everyone else.
so, i personally would not depend on any single lemmy instance to necessarily be an invincible repository for DD. anything can happen.
ape historian (apehistorian.com), aka u/elegant-remote6667 on Reddit, has been backing up reddit threads from superstonk and wallstreetbets and maybe a few other subreddits but i don’t think theppshow subreddit. So, lots of stuff is backed up by this individual on his own equipment.
there are other solutions for long term record keeping, but everything will always be changing. i now have to go and find archive links for a bunch of ppshow subreddit links because i can no longer get them from reddit.
Alternatively, anyone is capable of manually archiving any web page using archive.org. DD authors that are extra diligent can make their DD in Lemmy (warning: unless i am mistaken, Lemmy posts have a character limit of 10,000 characters) and then take the link to that post and paste it into the box on archive.org to Save Page Now
archive.org likely contains the vast majority of posts from the pp show, however finding them would be the tricky part.

Being cautious, we should store DD on pastebin or a similar doc site and link to it from Lemmy.
that is certainly an option that could work.
