How to recover a post a user deleted that was actually awesome? (lemmy.world)

Over in the community I moderate here on Lemmy world, which is history, a user posted a link about photos from India when it was colonized by Great Britain. All of us over there were like enthusiastic to the brim, then the user deleted his or her post. When the user deleted their post, there's nothing to click on for a link, and what they posted was actually a really good link. Is there a way for me to recover the link to force it to be available again? It was really good. I navigated to the link before the user deleted the post, but it isn't available now in my history in my web browser, probably due to a sync fail from Firefox. Is there any way to recover this post so my community can continue to enjoy it? Is there a way for moderators to not only see that the user deleted their post, but also interact with the deleted post to copy the link?

Wait, just a link? Well, then I misunderstood, and I'm North America's third most flamboyant idiot of the day. Sorry; sermonette withdrawn. :)
