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]

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.
