    … 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.
