Do you want to test it with me? I can make a few different accounts on a few different instances if you’re willing. I’ll make a few comments on a few posts and delete them.

I had one specific time someone quoted me like you did in a comment, but it was something I had deleted a long time ago. The time stamp on their comment was too recent to have seen my comment. I tested it a few times after that. If I can find the comment chain(s), I’ll link them. I comment a lot on lemmy, so I’d have to dig a bit.
