For example this comment: https://lemmy.sdf.org/comment/984558 and this post: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/873681 I both deleted, however from other instances they still appear to be there.

In case of the post others can still interact with it (comment and vote) except me, OP. In case of the comment, it just keeps the original text instead of deleted by creator, it can be interacted with, but it is also accessible to me as OP.

This is how the comment and the post appear from lemmy.ml. Still there, alive.

Edit: As per other lemmy user, this is already a known bug: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3588

    Not issue with Memmy, but lemmy itself. This is how it works. It needs time to propagate into other instances. And sometimes even the propagation can fail.

    EDIT: this is not about Memmy. Misread the community. The second sentence still stands.

      It needs time to propagate into other instances.

      Since 0.18.2 has been deployed by the bigger servers, the speed of propagation is really not much of an issue. The problem is a bug was introduced for posts on June 23, and for comments it seems that perhaps it has never worked. See my other comment for details.

        I see, thank you for the correction. I always thought that it needs time to propagate. And if it fails, I read somewhere that there is no handling in place, so it falls into void.

          That is true in the current design, but in studying the actual outcomes, delivery-failures are not happening nearly as much as the problems with deletes and moderation.

          I’ve been comparing servers for posts and comments for weeks, with 0.18.2 versions in the field - the majority of current inconsistencies are logic problems in the code that never even attempts to send (like deletes only going to 2 of 50+ servers).
