I hope not. I wouldn’t be happy to think that even the items I don’t post are saved and tracked like with google or microsoft. I was sad enough to know that all of your deleted everything are saved in lemmy and never truly deleted.
Save them to a local text file or draft your responses in a text editor .

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) . . .
@dessalines@lemmy.ml, 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).
I was able to undelete a post from just over a year ago just now. I think others can still see it if they posted comments to it, as well as responses to them.
I’m not sure of it does hidden version tracking of comments as well.
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
