Currently on Lemmy, when a comment is deleted by its creator, all of the replies to that comment become “hidden”. If I know who replied, and I go to their profile, I can still see the replies. The count of the number of comments indicated next to the post also includes the “hidden” replies. However, the replies to the deleted comment do not appear in the post. On Reddit, if a comment is deleted by its creator, it remains in the post with comment deleted by creator or something like that, and all of the replies to thatcomment remain visible in the post. Is there a way to do this on Lemmy?

    Ah. Then you are in luck. That’s what happens now for me on KBIN and I think it is the case with Lemmy as well.

      Is that a setting somewhere? Because that is not how it behaves on my end. Deleting a comment hides all replies.

        Sorry. I have never used lemmy, so I don’t know if it is a setting or not.

        Can any lemmy users reading this clarify for redpen?
