If a Mastodon server closes down, members can download offline post archives, but there's currently no official way to display these archives online.
A proposed solution by @oliphant is a static website generator they have created called "Posty", which turns Mastodon public post archives into standalone static public websites:
https://codeberg.org/oliphant/posty
It could be useful for servers that are closing down, admins could perhaps offer this as a service to their members.
@homegrown @oliphant very interesting

What if you're not on Mastodon, though?
@homegrown @jalefkowit @oliphant ( i’ve also written a mastodon archive to static site generator, fossilphant https://github.com/swaldman/fossilphant )
@homegrown @oliphant I've used the converter too. Very pleased with the results, will be hosting on my own site very soon
