Question really is why is it developed that way? Why does it need to do a reindex every hour? I have not looked at Lemmy source code, but wondering if a trigger function could do the same thing.
(Apparently the UI allows you to edit your own deleted comment, but saving it doesn't un-delete it, you just lose what you wrote... Bummer!)
In the conversation on Github, it looks like they considered a trigger and some other options based on DB query analyses, and arrived at a solution. It requires code refactoring, though, so I wouldn't expect it to be out in the wild right away.
There's a branch that likely fixes the issue with a pull request to main, but it failed some automated testing and needs to be tested in main before a new release. The timing of this is unfortunate. I suspect Monday and Tuesday to have many 50x codes on any instances that get attention.
In the conversation on Github it looks like they considered a trigger and looked at a ton of database query analyses and found a promising direction to go in.
The change requires code refactoring, though, so I wouldn't expect it to land in a stable version of Lemmy for a little bit.
