Don't mind me, just commenting so I'll see later if this post gets deleted by the author.

    It's rarely the author, it's usually mods.

    It's also mods, but in my experience, in ask Lemmy a lot of times general questions are asked, the OP doesn't respond to anyone replying, and two days later if you browse through your history you see "deleted by author". Which is a shame, because if I now see it's from this community I'll be hesitant to reply.

    I see "deleted by author" even when deleted by mods. Which I guess is why so many people keep thinking there is this rash of people deleting their own posts despite it almost always turning out to be mods.

    I DO see lots of cases where OP doesn't reply much or for a few days. Which was always like that on Reddit too. But that's a bit different.
