Testing in live environment?! This is selfhosted, why the hell not 😂
I'm going to test comment deletion too and see if it'll work. I deleted my comments in another community and to my surprise, not only it's not deleted in other instances, it got a bunch of upvotes and replies too! Going to delete this comment and see what happen.
You may need to edit with [deleted by user] and wait some time then delete or something as a workaround. Interesting to know that delete isn’t be all and all.
That's very strange. Once a post gets federated, can a user not delete it? Can it only be removed with a purge from the instance admin?
Not sure, may need to check the github repo to see if it's a know bug (or an actual feature).
Pretty sure I saw many deleted comments in my instance over the past few weeks, so surely deletion works, at least for some of them. If not, you can always edit the comment and clear the content to simulate deletion. I just edited this comment and I'll see if the edit shows up in your instance.
edit: yep, edit works
There's this but I'm not sure if it's directly relevant

I'll check again in two hours. @remindme@mstdn.social in 2 hours.
@redcalcium (dev here) we currently have it set up so @remindme has to be at the start of post, otherwise the bot ignores it 😄
@remindme@mstdn.social 2 hours
What if we want the bot to go deeper 😏
WTF it's not deleted in OP's instance: https://feed.timeloop.tv/comment/5896
In my instance it's deleted: https://c.calciumlabs.com/comment/166782
Edit: it's deleted in lemmy.world: https://lemmy.world/comment/862358

PS: I can still read your parent comment 5 hours later.
It can, but the deletion takes time to sync to all instances I believe
unfortunately you cannot delete it from my brain, least not easially or cheaply....
Still there for me.
Still seeing it on my end.
Seems to still be here
