Yeah, better use the linter too, that way it’s limited to 80 characters

Most people do

What Dart looks like when written by ActionScript programmers

which suggests a lookup table

No, it only suggests an additional field in the Post table

since there’s no assurance that any instance is aware of any other instance

It already works like that, but slightly worse because post IDs aren’t the same across instances. If you search a newly-created community from another instance here, you just won’t find it until it’s synced, despite its URI being unique.

Thinking about it, it would be possible to have an URI for posts like post:${id}@instance.com, similar to how user URIs and community URIs are made. This way, you could open /post/1772651 on lemmy.world or post:1772651@lemmy.world on, idk, lemmy.blahaj.zone or something.

Obscurity mode

You should try pnpm, it solves that issue!

And the post on lemmy.world: https://lemmy.world/post/1086238

I think we need UUIDs so we can reference posts across instances

Yeaaah if this community is going to get stale, older than my mom moldy reposts first thing in then I’d rather dip out of that one for now
