Ok we're now generating links like this instead https://piefed.social/c/politics/p/1385905/will-the-supreme-court-hand-government-contractors-blanket-immunity

That does work! What about if it's a remote community? Does it just use the post ID number to determine what instance it's actually from?

The only part of the url that actually does anything is p/1385905 which functions the same way piefed.social/post/1385905 does. So that /c/politics bit has no effect on which post is displayed and it could be any string of gibberish. There are communities called 'politics' on many instances and this url scheme doesn't differentiate between them, but I'm ok with that.

I think that's pretty standard for URL slugs

Oh, interesting. I think having a '@' in the url is going to be a problem for a lot of different software. I'll remove that part.

Maybe the @ could be replaced by "at", just for legibility and transparency? Of course, there's always URL escapes, but that's for clients to do
