Today I deleted a post. I got asked for a reason, gave it, and continued. It then redirected back to the post, which was gone now. PieFed.zip has no 404 page configured, so it just showed the text not found.
(As it was my first post here, my post counter was reduced to -1. But comment and post counters probably get fuzzied because of bots.)
PieFed 1.4.0-dev
I really appreciate your bug reports but if you’re going to do more than one or two please put them in codeberg.
PieFed.zip has no 404 page configured
This is actually intentional on the part of PieFed. We have the 404 page be as computationally cheap to serve as physically possible. This is a way to help spare the server from some kinds of scraping that have hit the fediverse in the past.
As for the redirect, I can take a look at it. I have reworked a lot of the redirects in the codebase to make more sense, but from time to time a new case I missed pops up. Thanks for the report.
My recent changes to the way deleted posts are handled avoids this issue.
deleted by creator
In v1.4.4 I’ve made it so that when you delete a post you can still view it.
