I looked at several silver mining stocks, one was significantly shorted (SI 21% SHO), the others were not. They are all popping but I don't know how much scope there is for a short squeeze, versus a long mania.

I think the more interesting question is physical vs financial silver. Far more silver is traded on paper in the futures market than is immediately available for physical delivery. I think the idea is to squeeze that disparity. I have no idea yet if the r/wsb mob has enough capital or focus to do that. GME was a teeny stock ($2BN mkt cap?), silver market is many hundreds times larger.
