[email protected] GONE! How did this happen? Who could be so destructive? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

The entire [email protected] community vanished overnight. Is all that data lost? Are there archives anywhere? Please restore the backups.

Fair enough if the community is made read-only. We can use [email protected] going forward.

Correction-- I was just able to trace back to see how I figured out what the community address was. When I mouse-over β€œ[email protected]” 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 it’s 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 I’m wrong.
