Rather than a format like piefed.social/post/long_number, posts how have a url that includes the community name and title in it.
This improves readability, helps people differentiate between multiple links in a list and is better for SEO.
The old style of url still works too and there may be occasions when you get taken to a url like https://piefed.social/post/1382987 but we'll be working to remove those over time.

@rimu this is awesome! -

@rimu It can be any community name and title though
E.g., https://piefed.social/c/anything/p/1382987/anything resolves to the same content as your original link.
That feels like a risk - you could give someone a URL that looks like it's for one community/title, but goes to a completely different one.
Trivial example - https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta@piefed.social/p/1220635/friendly-post-urls - looks trustworthy, but is completely different. That could be NSFW content, and you won't know until you click.
It isn't NSFW, you can trust me.
Or can you...?

Cool tweak!

Yes, the /p/number bit is the only functional part of the url. I'll make it check for tampering!

rimu@piefed.social for what it's worth, we had this discussion a decade ago too.
We ended up being very simplistic and not tying anything to anything else.
So posts are not tied to topics (theoretically you could have a post in multiple topics... we don't do that, but you can)
And topics aren't tied to categories (same deal, and we also don't have topics in multiple categories... yet!!, cross-posting will change that.
So when you have a direct url to a post it's just
/post/. A friendly URL uses a post index, but we can do that because we order posts linearly. Piefed doesn't have that advantage unfortunately.

Oh cool, didn't know Piefed supported Emoji reactions!
That's fair that you don't want to see it.
😬

Just noticed these starting to pop up. My life did not need more emojis in it.

A lot of people made new years resolutions about using social media less. So now we have an optional daily time limit! It's in https://piefed.social/user/settings. Bear in mind that it only counts time spent with a PieFed tab in the foreground - when you switch to another tab on another website to read a news article the timer stops. So you might need to set this lower than you think for it to be effective.
One nice thing about the fediverse is we don't need to optimize for addiction and try to keep you here longer than you want to.
The warning pops up with every page load so just clicking through it once won't work. It's for your own good!

I have received word that there are people combing through the PieFed code looking for anything that might be harmful. This is excellent and can only make PieFed better and less harmful.
We appreciate their interest in PieFed and look forward to answering any questions and showing people around the code. Please join us at https://chat.piefed.social or https://matrix.to/#/#piefed-developers:matrix.org.
There's no need to listen to rumors and amateur speculation when we're right here and happy to help. Come on in, the water's fine!

Got it :smile:

Happy to take a look in the AM, it's nearly midnight here. I'm confident I'll be able to figure out why NodeBB can't load your emoji at least.
As for mine, the emoji itself is transmitted with the activity. It's just how Mastodon does it so I mimicked their implementation.
-
On the PieFed side, : frowning : is not being converted because PF ignores the tag entirely and relies on daily polling of lemmy/api/v3/site to get lists of emojis, which is a bit crap for NodeBB. More work needed!
-
No, not yet :frowning: I wonder why. I'm using one in this post so I can compare...
No clue! They look the same! Mine has an id, but I don't think that'd make a difference...
