Unable to playback bsky.app pages #272

As bsky becomes essentially the replacement of twitter, I'm concern about this issue that the WBM cannot properly archive/playback bsky pages:
Here is what it looks like at this URL: https://bsky.app/profile/alexblechman.bsky.social/post/3khkeuzs2f42r
image
And here is the playback result, saving a blank page: https://web.archive.org/web/20240209024115/https://bsky.app/profile/alexblechman.bsky.social/post/3khkeuzs2f42r
image
While archive.is at least captures something: https://archive.is/9R9r8
image
Problem is that archive.is doesn't have many capabilities like the WBM:

  • Images are either cropped/downsized at certain resolutions or file sizes (it is a lot smaller for achive.is than the WBM).
  • links on the playback page on archive.is don't show the original URL (especially problematic for multiple versions of the image that specifies the resolution and original)
  • WBM can take a list of URLs (either through email or through wayback-gsheets), allowing saving multiple URLs and AFK'ing, archive.is lacks this, and also reports URLs that failed to save.

News sites will especially be joining bsky, and that would be missed a lot if this limitation of unable to save/playback bsky pages continues.
