Is that a setting somewhere? Because that is not how it behaves on my end. Deleting a comment hides all replies.

No, I don't want to delete others comments. I want others' comments to not be deleted when the original commentor deletes the original comment that starts a comment thread.

This is what I want. How can I get this?

This was the reason for this post. It has happened to me quite a few times already. When I take a bunch of time to make a well-thought-out reply and link a bunch of references in a discussion, I don't want all that effort to effectively disappear when the original commentor just decides they are embarrassed or don't want to continue and just nukes the thread.

Edit: typos

 

Currently on Lemmy, when a comment is deleted by its creator, all of the replies to that comment become "hidden". If I know who replied, and I go to their profile, I can still see the replies. The count of the number of comments indicated next to the post also includes the "hidden" replies. However, the replies to the deleted comment do not appear in the post. On Reddit, if a comment is deleted by its creator, it remains in the post with comment deleted by creator or something like that, and all of the replies to thatcomment remain visible in the post. Is there a way to do this on Lemmy?
