How to remove my instance users from other instances (random-hero.com)

Hello everyone! Recently I have removed a couple of bot users from my Lemmy instance via DB query (I removed them from person table). Those bots were subscribing to hundreds of communities on other instances which I don't really want to spend resources on fetching new posts and updates.

I have purged those communities from my instance but they keep reappearing. As far as I can tell, this happens because other instances still "think" that users from my instance (bots, which don't exist already) are still subscribed, and therefore send updates to my instance.

How can I completely get rid of those communities?

If I understand, you still have them in your local_user database table? I'm not sure if they would still be matched up records of local_user to person with a delete from person table.

I'm not sure I know what is a "local_user" database
