Deleted replies are still published to blog

I’m new here and to micro.blog in general. I’ve searched for an answer to my question but couldn’t find one, so I hope y’all will forgive me if this has already been covered somewhere.

I published a few replies to a Mastodon post. They were short, really only intended for the Mastodon user. At the time, I didn’t realize that all replies I publish from the micro.blog timeline will be published to the “Replies” page on my micro.blog-hosted blog. I understand now, and that’s not a problem. I’ll just modify my reply behavior from the micro.blog timeline.

Here’s my issue:

I used the “Replies” module from the micro.blog dashboard to delete those short replies that I don’t want published to my micro.blog-hosted blog. Next, I went to the “Pages” module from the dashboard, selected “Replies,” and clicked on “Update Page.” Waited for micro.blog to confirm that changes had been published, then navigated to my blog to confirm.

Unfortunately, the replies I deleted are still published to the “Replies” page on my blog.

Am I not understanding something fundamental about the way replies from the micro.blog timeline work? Is there a step I’m missing in order to unpublish those replies from my blog?

Sorry, again, if this has been answered somewhere. I’d appreciate any help, even if it’s just directing me to the topic that has the answer :folded_hands:

When your blog feels out of sync, it often helps to nudge it into doing a full rebuild. Navigate to the logs page and press Rebuild. It will take a couple of minutes, and once it’s ready, your old replies should hopefully be gone.

You can also disable replies on your site completely, if you don’t want them there, from the Account page.
