@pachli @jandi Okay so I understand where you are coming from, but Loops does not use usernames in urls, because we use snowflake ids (to support username changes), we also don't require a profile id or username in a url because why?
Loops urls are short and sweet, and you can easily determine the context:
- /v/{hashid} - decode hashid and load post
- /v/{hashid}?cid={commentHashid} - decode commentHashid and fetch
- /v/{hashid}?rid={commentReplyHashId} - decode commentReplyHashid and fetch
@dansup @jandi Yes. And if the URL prefix had been `/p/` instead of `/v/` you'd be compatible with the work clients already had to do to support Pixelfed.
However, this also effectively hijacks the "/v/" URL path prefix for Loops. No one's typing these URLs in by hand, so a more explicit prefix that used the canonical name for the software would be better.
E.g., `{domain}/org.joinloops/{hashid}`
