I had originally intended to use archive.org, but there's a few issues that complicate it. For one, it obeys robots.txt, which disallows webcrawlers from accessing sites who use it. It also appears to not follow redirects, meaning if someone uses a link shortener, it won't archive the correct page.
I'm not opposed to adding it, but it will work on far fewer links out of the box.

I just noticed another issue. I get the automod comment in my inbox when I post a submission even though I always uncheck the "send replies to my inbox" option.
Is there any way to fix that?

Can I suggest that perhaps you follow the example of /r/mgtow - and have the automod offer both options within the same post!? They archive every external link over there, even the ones within the comments. That's a bit extreme though.
