This comment was the first one I ever saw that said “Deleted by creator” so I was wondering what would happen if you copy the text of it. Apparently, this shows the text of the deleted comment. Is this a bug?
It was probably cached beforehand.
I remember on the old forum with the alien I could hit refresh constantly to see what deleted comments had said if it was cached on time.

I think the app is caching things without you having to look at them so they can instantly load. Not 100% though. It’s what I noticed happening years ago.
Servers cache stuff too. Instead of orchestrating each script and each request to db, they prerender pages to deliver. It’s getting trickier with dynamic sites like reddit, but it still saves a lot in processing time, money.
The hardest thing in programming is naming things, off by one errors, and cache invalidation.
The joke is supposed to be “the two hardest problems in programming are naming things, cache invalidation, and off-by-one-errors” - the joke being that you say two problems and are off by one.
Lemmy API returns comment content even if it was removed, but with a removed flag. Boost should not show the content in the copy dialog.
We finally have reveddit/removeddit here.
LemmyEdit?
Wait, but that’s the opposite of RemovEddit.
Works with jerboa too.
You can also just view source to show it as well.
Sounds like a Lemmy issue if multiple apps are able to do it, then.
That’s not a bug, that’s a feature

I have to try it wait
Sync: I have to try it wait
I have to try it wait
With Sync for Lemmy I can also see it
Weird. I can’t see it on sync. The comment chain is literally invisible to me.
Perhaps because it’s deleted by yourself 🤔
Can’t see other people’s removed comments either… 💀
I can’t seem to do it

Can read clear text when copying it but also when writing this reply
You can also do it when selecting text.
Removed by mod
This opens up the world of sending hidden messages by quickly deleting the message after sending it, which opens up the world of “deleted malware” and possible rule breaks.
What about edits?
