Description

easiest just to show this as a screenshot.

I am following my blog scream.today/daily from my mastodon instance social.wake.st/@liaizon

I have mistitled a blog post so I changed the title and the slug. I load my profile in mastodon and it has the old title and url. so if I click the link it 404's because I changed it. if I search the updated url from mastodon it does not show the new data.

Version or last commit:
scream.today running
writefreely v0.11.2

social.wake.st running
mastodon 3.0.1

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the title and slug change on WriteFreely v0.11.2 and inspecting the data exposed to Mastodon 3.0.1; done means Mastodon shows the updated title and URL instead of the old link.
