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
