This also applies to externally hosted images in regular posts, so ideally archiving shouldn’t be restricted to just linkposts. That said, I tried archiving some posts on LW2 on archive.is before (example) and it’s both ugly and with comments missing, probably too much delay with scripts or script-related restrictions.
Yeah, I am sorry for LessWrong currently not playing well with some archival engines. If anyone has any advice on how to fix this, I would be glad to hear that (we already do Server-Side-Rendering, but it seems like some archive sites still get confused).
We are working on adding comments back to Server-Side-Rendering, at which point I expect them to show up in the archive site. There is currently a bug in Node.js that makes comments load super slowly for us, but as soon as that’s fixed, I think we should be able to just show you at least 100 comments immediately with the rest of the post.

It works somewhat better (still ugly, but with comments present) if you use GreaterWrong instead.
