A proposal to change ?gateways query parameter to ?@gateway= (can be used multiple times in an URI): #890 - WIP: FEP-ef61: Define `@gateway` query parameter - fediverse/fep - Codeberg.org

Rationale:

  • Comma-separated values require a custom parser. Repeated parameters are supported natively by some URL parsers.
  • Query parameters are often used to define collection filters. The @ prefix clearly separates the special gateway parameter from all others.
  • I chose @gateway because it reads as “at-gateway”.
