Help with internet archive not providing a archive link (lemmy.world)

I'm trying to get a archived link for this website, which I want to archive for a bachelor thesis. But it's always giving me errors when clicking the timestamp on the calendar where it says it was archived. I'd really appreciate some help, I've been trying to troubleshoot for a few hours now. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/real-life-stories/psychologist-blinds-woman-drain-cleaner-6552282

Edit: ok, I went back to 2015 on the calendar and it worked from back then. Idk if the robot.txt is preventing more recent archive attempts. Here is a functioning link just to have this post completed as "answered" https://web.archive.org/web/20151002133313/https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/real-life-stories/psychologist-blinds-woman-drain-cleaner-6552282

Does this work? https://archive.is/jJyPh/again?url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/real-life-stories/psychologist-blinds-woman-drain-cleaner-6552282

Thanks for your response! That did work, tyvm. But I was hoping to get a archive.org link, as that's what I've used for all my other sources. I'm sure archive.is works good and will for some time. I guess I just want to go with the #1 name in the game if you know what I mean. ^^" I don't understand what the problem is with the wayback machine with this link. Maybe because its paywalled.

You should be able to archive.org and archive.is link.

Have you considered archiving the website and its assets on your own drive for future reference? Could be worthwhile for working without an Internet connection, for instance.

If you are comfortable with a command line, wget can be used to archive whole websites

Always good to have another tool in the toolkit. Thanks for that!
