I've made it so that when someone deletes their own post it is still viewable, including the comments. The post author and body will NOT be visible. Deleted posts will not show up in communities, search results, etc just as before - you need the URL of the post to get to it. Bookmark a deleted post within 7 days or it will be deleted for real.

Ask your instance admin to upgrade to v1.4.4. Chances are they'll be on 1.4.x already so this will be easy for them.

Comments attached to a deleted post ought to remain available from the user pages of those who posted them indefinitely, bookmarked or not.

I'm not sure if Piefed works that way already, but I'm pretty sure Lemmy doesn't and I don't like it. Somebody else's decision to delete their own shit should never result in the removal of mine.
