Is there any way to make a #Mastodon instance forget about posts from a Wordpress blog running your #ActivityPub plugin, if those posts are already deleted on the blog? Apparently, when I tested some months ago, deletes weren't propagated properly, and now all those test posts linger on the instance of the account I followed my blog with. I wouldn't want actual blog followers to see the posts later. |

Since I am the only one currently following the other account, I could unfollow and wait - is that even a thing? @feditips, do you have an idea? |

Föderation EN So 29.10.2023 18:38:50 @adamsdesk The posts in question aren't strictly Mastodon posts, but part of a Wordpress blog that publishes via an Activity Pub plugin _to_ Mastodon (and other platforms). Because I've already deleted them on the blog, I can't repeat this - and I have no way of "logging in to Mastodon" as the post author to get them deleted any other way. Whatever happens would have to happen either via Wordpress, or by some cache maintenance mechanism of the Mastodon instance, if such exists. |

Föderation EN So 29.10.2023 19:02:58 No, the ActivityPub plugin turns the blog itself into its own Fediverse server and creates its own accounts (that's why the account address has the blog's domain name in it). |
