This comment was the first one I ever saw that said "Deleted by creator" so I was wondering what would happen if you copy the text of it. Apparently, this shows the text of the deleted comment. Is this a bug?

I think the app is caching things without you having to look at them so they can instantly load. Not 100% though. It’s what I noticed happening years ago.

Servers cache stuff too. Instead of orchestrating each script and each request to db, they prerender pages to deliver. It's getting trickier with dynamic sites like reddit, but it still saves a lot in processing time, money.
