Thanks for bringing this up, I wanted to link it to yesterday and couldn't find it
yeah it was tricky because the community name was overwritten with β[email protected]β. I was only able to rediscover what the original community address was by some strange anomaly ~~of like an autocomplete in a search field or something~~. The existence of the community is scrubbed even on lemmyverse.net.
(edit) And my subscription was quietly removed. What should have happened is the subscription link in my subscription list should have remained as text (not as a hyperlink). It should have gotten a strikethrough with a βπβ next to it. Thatβs another #LemmyBug for the pile.
Intriguing...
Correction-- I was just able to trace back to see how I figured out what the community address was. When I mouse-over β[email protected]β on an old post of my own to the deleted community (from my profile), the underlying link is:
https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/[email protected]. So I think itβs only because I am not on lemmy.world myself that this was revealed. I suspect when users are on the same instance where the deletion happened, the original name may not appear. Someone correct me if Iβm wrong.
