see, I keep seeing this in threads where I haven’t deleted posts. either David and Blake are very good at cleaning up spam before I even see it, or maybe another action is causing this? (folks deleting their own posts, their home instance purging their content, defederation?)
but also, fucking lemmy, was it just impossible cap the new post variable to 0 instead of letting it go negative?
I looked at this post and it showed for me as “53 (-7)” - and there’s a pile of “1 more reply” which don’t load. Were they comments that were deleted on their home instance so got disappeared here? (That’s just a spurious hypothesis, I haven’t gathered evidence at all.)
that’s what I’m wondering too! the “x more replies” thing that won’t load I usually associate with replies detaching from the thread, which could be due to other instances deleting replies or due to a bug. I need to click on one with the lemmy backend logs open soon and see what error it throws. if this is due to other instances deleting replies then it’s a broken feature, because any replies to those replies will be inaccessible on our end

lol i’ve done bugger all by hand
our Mastodon interaction is still janky, works except when it doesn’t
huh, one more bug to keep track of! though I’m relieved we’re not falling victim to a silent wave of spam
