Piefed now generates human-readable post URLs instead of those random ID strings. This issue has been around on Lemmy for ages with no real progress from core devs. At this point, you have to wonder what the Lemmy dev team is focusing on.

    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.
