### Topic Ownership On December 18th, Deimos posted a topic to discuss potential site mechanics of topics and who owns them that gained a wild variety of responses that's worth checking out if you haven't already: [click here to read it](https://tild.es/989). ### Shortlinks Something that has been planned [for quite a while](https://tild.es/15m) has been added on December 22nd. Shortlinks! You can now share topics via the shortlink that is available in the sidebar of topics, [over here](https://i.imgur.com/upYnLhY.png). The shortlinks are just `https://tild.es/topic ID` where `topic ID` are the 3 characters of a topic's URL. So `https://tildes.net/~tildes.official/9au` becomes `https://tild.es/9au`. More options like linking to specific comments, users and other stuff is planned, don't worry!
