For some reason deleted posts on Lemmy still show up and they appear to have comments, but you can't read them. This one from almost a week ago is on the front page and I'm dying to know what it linked to or at least what the 8 comments are: https://awful.systems/post/346114

They must have deleted their account or something. Which is fine! But Lemmy really leaves a mess behind here. I think Reddit handles deleted posts by removing them from public feeds and deleting any attached text or embedded images, but it keeps the original link and it keeps the comments. It also hides what user submitted the post. Lemmy seems to do the exact opposite of that in every way which is just weird.
