Yep, that was one of them. Do you think that’s a good mechanism to automatically delete all user’s content when they get banned? Those example titles you shared don’t seem like obvious trolling nor obviously worthy of an account ban, and the collateral damage of deleting valid & popular threads seems bad.
How are you supposed to link to a source when it’s completely deleted?
You can see it in my profile though:
@MaximilianKohler to Ask Lemmy Ex Redditors of Lemmy what made you come on over? What happened at Reddit that you made the switch? • 5 days ago
This is the link and it looks like it’s been restored https://lemmy.world/post/17593614
I looked in the mod log https://lemmy.world/modlog/3106 and it says:
4 hours ago mod Restored Post Ex Redditors of Lemmy what made you come on over? What happened at Reddit that you made the switch? reason: restoring post as it was deleted as a result of the user getting instance banned from lemmy.ml
There is no log of why/when it was removed.
I looked up another one from https://lemmy.world/c/nostupidquestions titled “Where’s all the intelligent discussion at?”, which was removed for rule 7. I don’t agree with the removal reason, but none of this is relevant to the point of the OP. You guys are sidetracking.
That’s a lot of effort you’re putting into something that can easily disappear at any point.
That is the point of this thread. You’ve chosen to deceptively magnify one part of it to twist things for your own purpose, which also seems to be a primary purpose of a lot of people on Lemmy – antagonizing other Lemmy users.
Why would you want a lemmy.ml link though?
That’s where the thread is. It was created on lemmy.ml and crossposted to lemmy.world. When crossposting from lemmy.ml to lemmy.world it says “crossposted from lemmy.world”, which is wrong and confusing, and defeats the purpose of crossposting (informing people about similar communities or other instances).
“My posts keep getting deleted!”
— user looks into public info to find out why your posts might be being deleted —
Nice try, but that’s deceptive. This thread was not about my personal posts. I even gave an example of a recent thread (that I did not make) with hundreds of comments. You’re further proving my point.
It sounds like you’re saying it’s impossible, but I’m doubtful of that. Currently there is no fediverse link for the thread, so I think one could be added that links to the lemmy.ml post. I crossposted from lemmy.ml and the crosspost should say so.
If the devs conclude it’s not possible or wanted, that’s fine. But this is my feedback.
It’s exceedingly bizarre how many people on Lemmy rush to defend Reddit and attack other Lemmy users for anything possible.
This thread had absolutely nothing to do with that, yet you somehow dug through months of mod logs to find the one thread that would allow to you attack me.
“You have a history of being inflammatory towards Reddit on Lemmy! This is not acceptable behavior on Lemmy!”
I posted this thread to Fediverse@lemmy.ml, so I think there should be a fediverse link to the thread on Fediverse@lemmy.ml.
I’ve never seen “nazi shit” on Lemmy. The threads that have been deleted have all seemed on-topic with normal discussions taking place. The last one was a “what made you leave reddit?” thread with hundreds of comments.
The “fediverse link” on a post
I’m only seeing those links on comments, not the thread. Has it always been like that?
“The instance of the person who posted it” seems to be reasonable for comments, but not the thread.
That’s how it’s always worked??? The fediverse button goes to the canonical source
Maybe it didn’t exist on posts but only comments? I see it on your comment but not the OP/thread.
Years and years of reddit getting more and more problematic and lower quality:
Reddit is dangerous. The admins are out of control. Humanity needs a viable alternative.
Exact kind of troll, low-quality comment that poisons most of this website. As is the reply by FuglyDuck.
I have the exact same frustration. Reddit has been a complete mess for years. Unfortunately, Lemmy is only slightly better, and still seems to be astroturfed and filled with overconfident, unintelligent people who spread misinformation. I shared the link above on one of the /c/reddit lemmy communities and it was heavily astroturfed and then deleted by a mod for a ridiculous reason.
I posted in various other communities about a completely different topic and the only intelligent response I received was a PM.
I’ve blocked close to a hundred “fluff” (low-quality) communities on Lemmy, so my feed is highly curated. But the fluff/low-quality communities vastly outnumber the high-quality ones. One of the problems may simply be that intelligent people are rare, and are not spending their time on sites like Lemmy.
People keep making threads about this, and speculating that Lemmy might be astroturfed by people who don’t want to see it succeed. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a viable solution. You would need extremely competent and active moderators, or we have to wait until AI becomes advanced enough to neutrally and accurately moderate.
This is one reason I opted to move my Reddit communities to a forum instead of Lemmy. The problem with that is small forums don’t show up on search engines. Some forum software teams are joining the fediverse though, so that should help. But not all forums have intelligent people either, so it’s definitely a struggle to find these days.
When I researched and tested some, I found the Presonus Eris E3.5 to be the best bang for the buck. The other close one was Mackie CR3, but the Presonus is better.
How about a basic Squarespace business website?
I looked at a bunch of options before and Wordpress seemed like one of the most promising: https://lemmy.world/post/12989654
I found Tuta to be lacking.

Search isn’t working in firefox “your browser doesn’t support data storage”. As the search index needs to be stored in your browser, it does not work in private mode/incognito mode.
Free accounts get deleted if you do not log in for six months.
A good point, but this kind of atrocious moderation has existed for many years. https://github.com/MaximilianKohler/Archive/wiki/Reddit
The main thing that changed recently is that the admins are now as capricious as mods. The admins don’t live up to a higher standard, they do whatever they want.
Useful info from an admin about why one of the threads went missing: https://lemmy.world/comment/11288468
There seems to be room for improvement in how Lemmy handles this.
