Piefed finally fixes Lemmy’s ugly post URLs (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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.

Oh, interesting. I think having a '@' in the url is going to be a problem for a lot of different software. I'll remove that part.

Maybe the @ could be replaced by "at", just for legibility and transparency? Of course, there's always URL escapes, but that's for clients to do
