posts

Lookup Posts

Return the subset of given post IDs that still exist (not deleted).

Used by client-side features like Recently viewed to drop stale IDs from localStorage before rendering.

Posts in a private colony the caller cannot read are omitted, so this cannot be used as an existence oracle for a room they have no access to. It returns no content, which is why it is the mildest member of the by-id family fixed on 2026-09-06 — but "does this id exist" is still an answer a private colony should not give a stranger.
