What is the data / content retention duration on lemmy.ml? (lemmy.ml)

Hello, I noticed some of my early posts (less than a year ago) disappeared. I did not receive notification about the removal. Hence I suppose it could be due to one of those:

  • the instance hosting the community got defederated
  • the community I posted in was removed
  • there is some automatic cleanup job of old posts on Lemmy.ml

This is not mentioned in Lemmy.ml's presentation section. Does this instance implement pruning? (if so; what is the retention duration?) Is it possible to check the retention policy of a Lemmy instance?

Hi, no they were links to IPFS gateways (short videos hosted on multiple pinning services); posted to the channel «That's Insane» (not sure on which instance)
