Can Voyager add the ability to restore deleted posts, or is this an instance-level thing? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I just saw this post and was curious if something like this (restoring deleted comments) can be added to Voyager.

Maybe a toggle or something? Click to view like NSFW content?

Or is this an instance-level thing that Voyager couldn't do?

Thanks in advance!

That's just something admins (and maybe mods, I don't know) can do.

The only way this could be done by an app was if it saved a copy of every post and comment in case one of them gets deleted.

    Is this not possible with the modlog?

    1. Modlog wouldn't include users deleting their own posts/comments

    2. That would encourage mods to do hard deletes not soft deletes.

    3. you should be able to delete stuff!

    This ain’t Reddit friend. The mod logs are public and include the original. Not to mention every message is sent out to federated servers.
