So, I don't know if this is a dumb question, but how do I change from lemmy.ml to let's say, beehaw, without switching accounts? I'm on the Jerboa app.

Apologies, I didn't realize someone had replied to my comment before I deleted it. I figured starting my own post was better than trying to hijack someone else's similar post. (Again, that link won't work for you - I've been told if you enter that URL into your instances search bar, it will translate it)

I agree with you though, this is the biggest problem I've seen that will lead to adoption issues. Not really a lemmy issue though, more of a Fediverse/ActivityPub issue.

Ha, this is a new peculiarity. Your comment is still visible normally for me on my instance, although I can see that it has been deleted by creator on lemmy.ml.

It must still exist on other instances until a sync happens.

I am increasingly unsure that there is any such thing. See: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2825

Interesting. That completely changes my idea of how all this works...
