Whoa...! I was editing one of my community documents, and suddenly the whole community disappeared. Can you help?
Whoa...! I was editing one of my community documents, and suddenly the whole community disappeared. Can you help?
My community is:
https://lemm.ee/c/eurographicnovels
The post I was working on was:
https://lemm.ee/post/2890991
To be clear-- I, in no, way, shape or form intend to delete my community. I wish the community to remain undeleted, thanks.
In case it matters:
57 users / day

EDIT: Google retains the specific URL's of a bunch of our posts, such as the "Moebius" ones.
Hey, indeed it appears that the community was somehow removed by you:
Notice it says "Deleted by creator" .
Can you check in the top right corner, in the area visible in my screenshot, is there not a small "Restore" link? This should in theory let you un-delete the community.
Yes, "DELETED BY CREATOR" was the very first thing I noticed! 😠
But yes, I looked around the upper-right, but didn't see much of anything like a "Restore" link. Now I did try pressing the "Joined" button, and now it looks like this:
Ugh, so now I've made the whole situation somehow worse?
Oh, but check this out-- I have a "homepage" community under my same ID ( https://lemm.ee/u/JohnnyEnzyme) and I notice that the EDIT button:
...sits weirdly right next to the trash-can icon:
So... I guess probably I touched the one whereas I meant the other??
Thing is-- such a thing was almost *inevitable* as someone who tried to keep updating our site documents (resources and FAQ).
Aha, I think this restore feature is missing from the standard Lemmy UI.
Maybe this will help: I quickly implemented a very basic restore button on lemmy-ui-next. Can you check if you see a "Restore" button in the sidebar at https://next.lemm.ee/c/eurographicnovels? Note that you must be logged in as a moderator to see this button.
I need to step away from my computer for a while, but if this doesn't work, then I will be able to look into it further during the weekend.
Hey, I'm a mod of /c/eurographicnovels. Since the restore link is not showing for @JohnnyEnzyme@lemm.ee, is there any other way to un-delete our beloved community? It was just one wrong click, we never meant to delete our community, on the contrary, we have poured love and care into it since the great reddit migration and we want to keep doing that.
Dear lord, you're the best!
Hey sexy
This is very strange, I can still see many of the posts from the community at various URLs, especially from viewing your account page. But the community itself isn't showing any posts when you view it directly.
Exactly, thanks.
All of our individual post URL's seem to still be there, but the front-page seems to be weirdly in a "deleted" status.
