I’m not sure how they could fix that without having to change the entire database schema, and how to keep the posts and comments IDs in sync across the fediverse without breaking all the posts and the comments made prior to that change without processing a bunch of entries.
Well, we have a backwards-compatible solution right here. Make a database that lists how the comment and post numbers correspond (I assume that’s how this works).
Storing them by hash or something would be good too, but yeah, that’s a lot more work.
