Hi Zeus !,
I do find it amazing myself that so much posts would be deleted (in between 5 million and your post https://lemmy.world/post/5000038 ) and I have a confirmation that this is so since I have checked also around 3 million with another user : related informations below :
i don’t believe it can be deletion, i’m guessing they never existed - i imagine it’s some sort of batch assignment to avoid url collisions due to server lag
but that’s all beyond me, so this is just conjecture
by the way, do you just open lemmy.world/post/[some round number] and increment until you find a post that exists?
Yes, that would be too many deletions. So, I suppose your hypothesis is more probable than mine.
… and yes I simply made manual incremental url(s). I know it’s not that hard to write a script under linux using get, but it’s not on my mind right now.
