  • I was sad enough to know that all of your deleted everything are saved in lemmy and never truly deleted.

    Another concern of mine; I was under the impression that while the posts/comments a user deletes on Lemmy are still there, or at least visible to the original author (and therefore on the server too, I guess, they’d have to be!), but not visible to other regular users, the content can be deleted by being overwritten, and that deleted posts disappear after 30 days . . . ? (very tired here, did I just contradict myself?) Anyway, that’s at least the impression I got from here:

    https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2977

    and here:

    https://lemmy.ml/post/22763196

    I haven’t been here long enough to see if a deleted post of mine has disappeared after 30 days.

    In another life I was on an instance where if I deleted something, it disappeared as it should, though I don’t know if it also got deleted from their server(s) . . .

    @dessalines@lemmy.ml, could you please clarify this for us?




  • I just discovered that myself! I had everything Google-related that I could find on my phone disabled, which is why I couldn’t figure this out right away. When I enabled Google files, I was able to go to Apps and download the apk by sharing it. However, it won’t install on my wife’s phone, which makes me think that when I switch to GrapheneOS that it may well not work there either. In any event, I won’t have any scruples pirating it since I already paid for it!
