    Some apps do. Depending on your preferences an app might also be nicer to use overall than the lemmy web interface

      Some apps do.

      But not on the web interface, I guess, whether desktop or mobile?

      What Lemmy app do you use?

        I use ‘boost for lemmy’. It used to be a reddit app until Spez decided his wallet needed extra padding

      I was sad enough to know that all of your deleted everything are saved in lemmy and never truly deleted.

      Another concern of mine; I was under the impression that while the posts/comments a user deletes on Lemmy are still there, or at least visible to the original author (and therefore on the server too, I guess, they’d have to be!), but not visible to other regular users, the content can be deleted by being overwritten, and that deleted posts disappear after 30 days . . . ? (very tired here, did I just contradict myself?) Anyway, that’s at least the impression I got from here:

      https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2977

      and here:

      https://lemmy.ml/post/22763196

      I haven’t been here long enough to see if a deleted post of mine has disappeared after 30 days.

      In another life I was on an instance where if I deleted something, it disappeared as it should, though I don’t know if it also got deleted from their server(s) . . .

      @[email protected], could you please clarify this for us?

        I think it’s reasonable to keep content for 30 days, like holding it in a trash in case you want to restore it.

        Other than that delete after 30 days thing, I was under the impression that deleting your account removed content permanently.

        I seem to recall servers crashing here, there, and everywhere in the 0.18 (or maybe it was 0.17) days when a user with a lot of content deleted their account (which I presume was fixed).
