All links go to nothing. Did it get dropped?
Also, and possibly better as another question is there a discussion group or list for Pollen?
I'm making a website and want to look at old questions/best practices.

Comments in the readme for [this repo](https://github.com/zyrolasting/HaTTaH) by polyglot’s author indicates he nuked it himself, for opaque reasons.
There is a #pollen channel on the Racket discord, but no other online groups or lists that I'm aware of. Matthew Butterick used to host a Discourse-based discussion server at `forums.matthewbutterick.com` but it’s no longer online.
I’m a longtime fan of Pollen and there aren’t many of us these days (judging by the amount of traffic/discussion I see), so feel free to DM on here if you want to get on a Zoom call to talk about what you’re doing!

Yeah... I wish they'd just archived their repos or something instead of deleting everything. It's likely to rebel against AI training/microsoft/privacy/politics, etc. In general I respect their stance, but at the same time I'm a fatalist in this regard. It adds more friction to discoverability, contributing, and adoption, etc.
