Seriously, why is nobody talking about this??
URLs are completely useless with each instance applying an opaque, incrementing integer to each post, which is of course different across instances. No way to tell what community it’s in just by looking at it, nor any way to recover the content from another instance if the instance in the URL goes down.
Also, if a post is deleted, comments on that post cannot be viewed except on someone’s profile.
Like who came up with this? Microsoft?
So if I take https://lemmy.today/post/20615040 and paste it into the search bar of feddit.org it’ll take me to the post?
Edit: Oh good it’s being fixed.
Feel free to edit your title, some people don’t read posts, and won’t see that the issue is being addressed
“Handles” is a present-tense verb
Saul Goodman? Cool, now please take back those horrendous things you wrote about Lemmy. /s
