Lemmy comments seem to have two URLs.

One is of the form https://{{domain}}/post/{{postId}}/comment/{{commentId}} The other is of the form https://{{domain}}/comment/{{commentId}}

It seems like the second one is used as the AP id because it’s the only one that resolves to the post when I search from my pleroma acct. Why does Lemmy surface two URLs on the comment? While I think the first form makes more sense, I think the comment should only include the second one since it’s the one that can actually be resolved to the post from other software. If there’s a reason to keep both around, could the first form be fixed so that it also resolves to the post?

In the above screenshot, the link icon uses the first URL form and the community icon uses the second URL form. This is another strange pattern. I would expect the community icon to link to the community’s home page.
