I really like lemmy and have stopped using reddit months ago. My only real gripe with lemmy is the title: when a conversation gets going in the comment section, that gets killed when the post is deleted, for whatever reason. I can’t even go back to a conversation and have a look at the comment threads to “dwell in nostalgia” (or whatever) if the post to the comment section gets deleted. Piecing the threads together from the inbox and my comments on my profile, and continuing a discussion via direct messages is cumbersome and kind of antithetical.

So, feature request, I guess: Enable retrieving comment sections of deleted (removed from community) posts. Bonus points if new comments could be added after the deletion (/removal) of a post.

    If they didn’t do it the mods and admins will.

    Power mods shape conversation here far more than Reddit mods ever did.

      Yah, I was about to mention that, but left it out to keep the post brief and on point.

      I’m not sure of that. My experience feels the other way around.
