Fix platform-agnostic community filtering logic

Enhanced the community matching logic in /api/posts to work for all platforms by using platform-agnostic matching rules:

1. Exact source match (source == community)
2. Platform match (platform == community)
3. Partial source match (substring)
4. Partial post ID match (substring)

This resolves the issue where users with empty communities couldn't see posts and works equally well for Reddit, HackerNews, Lobsters, GitHub, etc.
