KNOWN BUGS

Searching site-wide for "0.18" generates an error. This was working fine in 0.17.4 before Lemmy.ml upgraded: https://lemmy.ml/search?q=0.18&type=All&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll

The URL thing used to be

https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy/data_type/Comment/sort/New/Page/1

But now it's

https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy?dataType=Comment&page=1&sort=New

The URL feels uglier.

What? The first one looks so wrong, no website does it like that.

Might be uglier... but, it follows normal web standards now.

Thats literally how most websites handle http GET parameters

maybe uglier but the 2nd way means the order doesn't matter, it's a bit more lenient for manually editing

I mean, you can parse a URL path and query string however the heck you want. You can make the former order independent, but it's probably better supported in libraries as the latter and definitely more common and obvious for users.
