Use URL type in most outstanding struct fields (#1468)
* Use URL type in most outstanding struct fields

This fixes all known remaining cases where url fields are stored as
plain strings, with the exception of form fields where empty strings
are used as sentinels (see `diesel_option_overwrite_to_url`).

Tested for regressions in the federated docker setup attempting to
exercise all changed fields, including through apub federation.

Fixes #1385

* Add migration to fix blank-string post.url values to be null

This also then fixes #602

* Address review feedback

- Fixed some unwraps and err message formatting
- Bumped the `url` library to 2.2.1 to fix a bug with serde error
  messages
- Add unit tests for the two diesel option override functions
- Fix migration teardown by adding a no-op

* Rename lemmy_db_queries::Url to lemmy_db_queries::DbUrl

* fix compile error

About The Project

Desktop Mobile
desktop mobile

Lemmy is similar to sites like Reddit, Lobste.rs, or Hacker News: you subscribe to forums you're interested in, post links and discussions, then vote, and comment on them. Behind the scenes, it is very different; anyone can easily run a server, and all these servers are federated (think email), and connected to the same universe, called the Fediverse.

For a link aggregator, this means a user registered on one server can subscribe to forums on any other server, and can have discussions with users registered elsewhere.

The overall goal is to create an easily self-hostable, decentralized alternative to Reddit and other link aggregators, outside of their corporate control and meddling.

Each Lemmy server can set its own moderation policy; appointing site-wide admins, and community moderators to keep out the trolls, and foster a healthy, non-toxic environment where all can feel comfortable contributing.

Note: The WebSocket and HTTP APIs are currently unstable

Why's it called Lemmy?
