Comment on A proposal for instance agnostic post and comment links

honestly i think it should be more like this (or this

i know people don’t like to talk about reddit, but the URLs were perfect. i could see whether a post was the one i wanted just from the url, and if i wanted a shorter link i could just omit the title and it would soft redirect

I agree with that, however I think that’s a separate issue to federation and instance agnostic links. Fixing both at the same time sure would be efficient, though.

  that’s a fair point, i guess i just saw that and my mind jumped to other url related points
  
  it would be nice to have them both solved together though
  
  Edit2: Ohhhh I think I see now, citations, with a link back to the position the citation was in. That looks really good for long comments.
  
  yeah they’re not in the lemmy markdown cheat sheet, but they’re supported by markdown-it, the library that lemmy uses

    One other thing that just occurred to me, putting the title in the link might not work so well with lemmy, because post titles can be edited.

    actually that is a good point, i didn’t think of that
    
    still though, there’s no reason not to have the original title in the url. transparency, and all
