Ok finally I think I have a clean repro for this: I think this is happens when the user has reaction in one of the not deleted post in a deleted topic (OP).

Repro:

1. Add reaction to OP and the second post.  

2. Check the **Test1** user `activity/reactions` page it works now as expected  

3. Delete only the topic OP with delete topic button so the second post not deleted.  

4. Check the **Test1** user `activity/reactions` page again drop a 500 error because I think the route is broken.  

5. Un-Delete the topic or delete the post too will recover the `activity/reactions` page.

It also happens with deleted category if the About the … category topic has reactions. I think because the actual post not deleted.

1. Add a reaction with **Test1** user in the **Test Subcategory** category.  

2. Check the **Test1** user `activity/reactions` page works as expexted  

3. Delete **Test Subcategory** category.

4. Check the **Test1** user `activity/reactions` page again will drop a 500 error because the reaction left on the OP and the route is broken.
