Now that google isn't archiving Newsgroups how do we link back to past
posts? I used to always use the google address for a post because it was
easy to get it, but that hasn't been possible after Google stopped
supporting newsgroups.

You can still link to old posts, I've given two links in reply to you
just a few minutes ago.  GG still exists as an archive, just search
for the relevant post and click on the 3 dots beside it to get the
link.

Given GG's infamous ability to repeatedly break their search engine,
it's likely that doing a successful search now is still the challenge.

I've tried to find how eternal september could do it, but they do not
seem to have a feature to provide the post address like google had.

ES is a Usenet server.  To the best of my knowledge, none of them
provide search utilities.
