Ohh yeah, that reminds me, on Jerboa I was able to view other peoples' deleted comments somehow since the 0.19.1 update. That was kinda fun - I wonder if they fixed that in 0.19.2?

But yeah the upvote/downvote of deleted comments thing was actually a bug fix. Before 0.19.1, deleted comments would take out the entire tree - you couldn't really see the rest of the comments beneath it unless you came at one of them with a direct link. They fixed that, but at the same time left a bit of a hole in the API.

I've also seen an occasion where moderation action on another instance hadn't quite federated through everywhere. And I know for a fact my instance does not run pure lemmy code - not that I see it as a bad thing, our admin really knows his stuff and makes things more robust. When shit has hit the fan with other instances, he was front and centre helping them, while his instance was immune before it even happened.

Edit: They haven't fixed that bug: https://lemm.ee/comment/8151715

Incidentally, I find it really annoying that you can't make an instance agnostic link to a post or comment. Every instance just gives each one a number, but the different numbers across each instance. You can type /u/tweak@lemm.ee and it should make a link that anyone can click in their own instance, but you can't do the same with posts or comments.
