      Something broken on lemmy.world, I keep seeing posts from that instance with the username [deleted] except they’re not actually deleted.

    What is this post?

    It seems to be an RSS feed showing this post, which is then bridged back to the fediverse by web.brid.gy, which then posts itself back into the fediverse.

    Could this create a recursive loop? Whatever is going on here it looks a bit messed up, but if this post itself makes it back to the RSS feed and then becomes bridged things get messy real quick.

    @anewsocial@mastodon.social - this might be worth for you guys to be aware of, even though I guess the bridge is technically working as intended.

      @cabbage wow idk what happened here, I’ve just randomly found this post by searching for my profile on lemmy, it’s very weird, I can see it becoming a problem if the bridges form closed loops

      anyway I’m still relatively new to the fediverse, so I find it funny that posts can have these cascading effects still happening across the web days after being posted
