Federated comment removals? Does Sync handle them? (slrpnk.net)

submitted 7 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

10 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Despite removing comments hours previously, I'm getting complaints from sync users that they're still seeing the spam bots that have plagued the lemmy today.

This leads me to believe that sync for lemmy fails to handle federated comment removals (note: some instances, those running kbin or mbin don't handle them at all)

Can this be added to ensure that when a mod removes a comment, the comment isn't seen by sync users?

Thanks

Doesn't sync just load the content from the server? How does it look on the webpage? I.e. problem.user.instance/c/[email protected]

It varies by server.

Some show 'removed by moderator': https://lemmy.world/post/13392555

Some servers don't show them at all: https://fedia.io/m/[email protected]/t/640012/The-Boeing-737-Max-was-marketed-as-eco-friendly-But-marketing

The people I'm aware of having problems are using sync on lemmy.world

FWIW I am on lemmy.world, am not a moderator, and have been seeing the spam comments with the trash and ban icons.
