Suggestion: Post URLs should include the community name.

submitted by Linuxdroid edited

Currently, URLs to posts have this format:

lemmy.ml/post/[number]

I suggest changing it to this so people can see the community immediately in shared URLs:

lemmy.ml/c/[community-name]/[post-number]

I wish it had been like that but changing it at this point would break too many links.

You could keep the previous links intact. The software could handle both versions. It's probably also possible to create a forward from the old to the new URL format.
