Revert post timestamps to link to canonical url #1249

Closed dariusk closed 1 year ago

dariusk commented 1 year ago

After much discussion (#1214), I have decided that the solution we are going with for timestamp-clicking is:

clicking a post timestamp from most views takes you to the "focus" view for that post, identical to v3 behavior
clicking the timestamp from the "focus" view opens the link to the canonical post on the server of origin, identical to v3 behavior

This is an application of this patch from the queer.party folks: https://commit.pup.cloud/maff/queer.party/src/branch/master/patches/4.0.0_4-revert-captive-links.patch

Fixes #1214.
