    Because your instance admins bulk deleted the posts directly in the database, which doesn’t federate to other instances.

    Quick and dirty fix because Lemmy is currently ill equipped to delete mass spam originating from many different accounts, but it means people from other instances still see all the spam and the lemmy.ml based moderators can’t do much because it’s already gone on their side.

      There’s a few open issues on lemmy for this (federating deletes when banning non-local users), when I get some time I’ll work on them.
