@pfefferle This issue has not been commented on in the last two weeks.

I don't want this to come across as pressuring you into prioritizing "my bug", but I see that most other issues have had at least some triage and reply. Is more information necessary?

I really think it is problematic if random people can just have their favorite tags added to a Wordpress blog they don't control.

Can anyone using the #ActivityPub plugin for #Wordpress check if they are, too, seeing tags in their blog that they did not use themselves?

The tag list of my blog contains entries that are part of the summary/bio of accounts following my blog - and I feel that this is not really how things should work.

@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.

Alternatively, does anyone know the timeframe for Mastodon instances to remove posts from their cache after an account is no longer followed by anyone on the instance?

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?

@pfefferle I fear the answer is "No", but...

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.

I’m thinking about adding a feature to my #Mastodon app allowing users to easily share their accounts with other people via QR code, similar to how #Threema handles this. Basically, scanning a code would bring up the app and allow following directly.

Would this be useful for anyone?
