    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.
