i can’t believe 37 sequential posts were deleted? also, on it’s only the ~360’000th post on lemm.ee? and it should be roughly equal i would have thought?
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 :
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 URLCommunity 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
i must say, i don’t understand lemmy’s url system

i wish they used a sensible and legible url scheme like reddit (amongst other issues i have with lemmy urls)

Since the same topic happens (above) forgive me please to make this comment (copy) appear below :
That is, all posts #
from 3 000 000
to… 3 000 026 returns error.
