How can we fix Lemmy codebase so Wayback Machine archives not allowing replies to comments being viewed?

Currently if you archive a Lemmy thread you can see all the posts and comments but all replies to all comments are hidden in a “X# more replies ->” which if clicked it tries opening it forever and the replies never load.
Edit: updated title and body so its more clear im asking about how lemmy can be updated so its easier for the wayback machine to also archive the replies to comments
Example: https://web.archive.org/web/20230801065606/https://lemmy.world/post/2398000
When you click more reply, the link takes an action to make a web service call, in the case of lemmy.world, to the lemmy.world server(s). If the archived link has not changed from when it was archived and today, and the content is still accessible (e.g. not deleted or not made private somehow), then the call to load the new data should work… unless the link is being prepended by the wayback machine’s servers (I’m not very familiar with how wayback machine actual works). If the former, it’s not loading due to lemmy.world not hosting it anymore; if the latter, it’s not loading because Wayback Machine doesn’t host website’s services that it archives. I hope that helped.
The screenshot is a lemmy thread. The replies on the lemmy thread are all still being hosted (its a post from a few hours ago)
Im asking how Lemmy’s codebase could be updated so its easier for wayback machine to properly archive threads including the replies to the comments.
Yea my bad, i edited my comment
