Piefed now generates human-readable post URLs instead of those random ID strings. This issue has been around on Lemmy for ages with no real progress from core devs. At this point, you have to wonder what the Lemmy dev team is focusing on.

Is this an upcoming feature or is it already live? I'm reading this from PieFed.ca and the URL of this post is https://piefed.ca/post/286158.

It's not live on piefed.ca yet :)

Both URL types are available but I don't know what the default one will be or if it's already in effect.
