    Nice art, and…

    Your post here is the first one at 5 million+ ! (as # seen from lemmy.world …it is # 5 000 038 and all other from
    .# 5000 000 to # 5 000 037 return errors : they were deleted ! )
    Unfortunately there is no award for this but congratulations anyway.

        Hi Zeus !,
        I do find it amazing myself that so much posts would be deleted (in between 5 million and your post https://lemmy.world/post/5000038 ) and I have a confirmation that this is so since I have checked also around 3 million with another user : related informations below :

        Hi @[email protected] :

        to user Madbrad200

        Since the same topic happens (above) forgive me please to make this comment (copy) appear below :

        Congratulations, you made the first post (https://lemmy.world/post/3000027)
        registered after 3 million !

        That is, all posts #
        from 3 000 000
        to… 3 000 026 returns error.

          i don’t believe it can be deletion, i’m guessing they never existed - i imagine it’s some sort of batch assignment to avoid url collisions due to server lag

          but that’s all beyond me, so this is just conjecture

          by the way, do you just open lemmy.world/post/[some round number] and increment until you find a post that exists?

            Yes, that would be too many deletions. So, I suppose your hypothesis is more probable than mine.
            … and yes I simply made manual incremental url(s). I know it’s not that hard to write a script under linux using get, but it’s not on my mind right now.

        … also, on it’s only the ~360’000th post on lemm.ee ?

        it looks like post synchronization between instances is very slow and even buggy.
        Still, at the very least there should exist a way, on the user side, to resolve :

        instance1/post#x ... to...  
        instance2/post#y
        

        About issue #875 at git hub :

        (( joppuyo changed the title : Community name in the URL Community name in post URLa on 2020 Jul 1st)) …

        looks like debated and hard to implement… especially since it would have to repair all old URL(s) !

        About issue #2987 at git hub :
        Yes I can see some problems here but too many possible solution and I am lost.

          post urls seem to be completely randomly uncorrelated - https://lemm.ee/post/1 is unrelated to https://lemmy.world/post/1

          but yes, there should be some way to easily redirect - i believe that is what #2987 is supposed to solve


          i don’t think old urls would have to be repaired, they could just be treated as a shortlink/server-side redirect

          for example, reddit supports https://www.reddit.com/r/androidthemes/comments/uvy0nx/contest_macintosh_rejuvenated/ and https://redd.it/uvy0nx - the latter just redirects to the former

            All right then, I hope this improvement gets done whenever developers can find some time to do it.
