Comment on A proposal for instance agnostic post and comment links

• Zeus@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  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

        Yeah, and I mean even it was abused that could be pretty funny. People posting things with weird titles then changing them immediately after, and seeing how long it takes people to notice the url.
