A little bit ago, a user joined my forum to react to 800+ posts with a nerd emoji.
I deleted the user, but all of their reactions still exist on posts.
When hovering over it, the only thing that happens is I get a loading spinner.

Hello, yes I think this is for the same reason then this.

Just to revisit this - I’ve had a run-through on my test site with a test user and once the user was deleted their reactions disappeared too.
My basic step-by-step:
- As test user, react to some posts
- As admin, delete the test user’s account
- Refresh, and check previously reacted to posts
- Reactions are no longer there
By any chance, did your issue resolve itself @darkpixlz?
Almost instant update: They came back when I then added a Like from another user to test out the linked topic above. I also ran Jobs::EnsureDbConsistency from the sidekiq page to see if that would shift them, but it did not.

I’ll check when my sites are up again, might not be for a while because of something really dumb
