Feature Request: Better filenames for view customization #nitpicking

I apologize in advance. 🙏

Current linkage on view.gmi:

=> index.gmi    Show everything
=> recent.gmi   ⭐️ Show recent posts
=> discuss.gmi  💬 Show discussion threads only

=> index2.gmi   Filter out "Gemini" topic
=> index3.gmi   Filter out "Gemini" and related software

=> gemini.gmi   "Gemini" topic only
=> gemini2.gmi  "Gemini" and related software only

Only the first paragraph has meaningful link names. The latter ones could be improved:

=> no-gemini.gmi                         Filter out "Gemini" topic
=> no-gemini-and-related-software.gmi    Filter out "Gemini" and related software

=> gemini-only.gmi                       "Gemini" topic only
=> gemini-and-related-software-only.gmi  "Gemini" and related software only

Or, because some people don't like long file names:

=> no-gemini.gmi                   Filter out "Gemini" topic
=> no-gemini-and-related-sw.gmi    Filter out "Gemini" and related software

=> gemini-only.gmi                 "Gemini" topic only
=> gemini-and-related-sw-only.gmi  "Gemini" and related software only

Anything is better than appending numbers to a filename. 😀

I can't really think of any downsides to using more descriptive file names. Might as well rename them and configure redirections from the old names.

I've changed the file names to be more descriptive, and set up permanent redirections from the old names.
