Did you delete the repo through the Tangled UI?

If not then it won’t replicate in their app view as don’t yet handle deletion records. There’s a lot of work going on to handle more of that stuff so hopefully the experience gets better soon.

For now though, ask them nicely to manually delete.

Ah I see. So a bit like in the high 5 app, but without this check here?

Really enjoyed reading all 3 of those.

Question though. When the fan supports a creator they are logged in and so you have the session to create a supporter record in their repo.

But how do you create the supporter proof record in their repo creators repo without them being signed in 🤔

This has led me down a rabbit hole of Googling and I’ll tell you this, there are some wild ideas out there, but I can’t see an official answer.

… and even manually deleting from your PDS “to be safe” isn’t as safe as most might think.

Oh 💯

However after seeing talks this morning about editing posts it got me thinking about the scenario where you’ve immediately regretted hitting send on a post and you delete or edit it.

Even if you delete within a second and no longer visible in the app, it’s already out there being ingested….

Would that retain likes, reposts etc 🤔
