When I use a link as a source, at the time that I access it for information I will also save a snapshot of it in the Wayback Machine. Ofc theres no guarantee that the Internet Archive will be able to survive, but the likelihood of that is probably far greater than some random website.
Comment on Lemmy being used as a source now

I’m worried about the link rot problem when the specific instance used as source goes down.

That’s unfortunately just how the internet is/works. It’s all links and links to each other. Check out archive.is and archive.ph - Maybe we can build a decentralized archive thing based on IPFS or something

It’s like we need a DOI system for lemmy posts.
