While we're at it, am I missing at instance-agnostic method for linking posts as well?
Nope. I highlighted the app only because it's an existing, working solution that an individual can use today. It is not a great solution for obvious reasons. I for one only browse via lemmy-ui, so that app does precisely nothing for me. My intention wasn't to poo-poo possible solutions, but to push back on your entitled framing implying that it was such an easy problem that it must have been an intentional omission to leave it out. Other users had no problem conversing with me in good faith and not being so hostile. I agree it's an issue, and so do the Lemmy devs, it just hasn't been solved yet.
I don't care about your contribution to the thread, I mean you aren't contributing to Lemmy, the codebase, and so my patience for such a level of hostility and complaining is low.
You assume I'm not contributing ... based on what? I addressed participation in this thread first as that's the most convenient for me to substantiate. I've bought many of the clients, before trying them and finding I preferred the webUI, but I went into this more in my conversation here with @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz ... Regardless, I've stuck to the topic, except for where called out for "hostility", "entitlement", or "not contributing". You went there first, and seem to have benefitted from the fact that my reply ended up on the wrong one of your (dismissive and condescending from the start)comments.
I don't need your patience. This is not your post. Should have left you blocked, but blocking you obscured @RobotToaster@mander.xyz 's far more valid, one word, contribution to the topic at hand.
Based on the fact I haven't seen your handle contribute to the github, which I follow relatively closely. Not to mention from your question's phrasing, and lack of research beforehand, I could have surmised as much. A contributor probably would have been able to find the relevant discussion on the github and read it rather than just badmouthing the software in a post.
I agree, RobotToaster thought through their reply and came with ideas that might actually work, at least in their second comment, not just complaining "why isn't this already the way I want it??"
Thing is, I know enough to come in here and ask "why not UUIDs?", but instead I asked, yes, not far from the way you said it, but "why is it this way? Am I the crazy one here?" (the implication of "I think this is crazy and no one else does", as sanity is generally defined by society or group concensus)
Funny story, I'm not crazy in this respect, this time, and the fix is already in the lower-level codebase even though the webUI hasn't yet implimented it, or so I'm told, something that was more-or-less apparent from seeing it working basically the same across multiple clients.
It's a little hard to contribute code from inside a moving(LOUDLY) steel box miles away from civilization, and I would have done some more research were I in a place to do so(contribute code, I mean, you know, best practices and all), but the idea that I would use this handle on github for non-machining related code is laughable, although you are correct on the specific criteria that I have contributed no code there whatsoever. I am well aware that I am more valuable here(not there, for now) as a shit-stirrer with a wallet, and see no reason to come at others with bUt dO YoU CoDe!?
