Some accounts are deleting their posts after a few downvotes. It’s devastating on communities like c/asklemmy.
Lemmy doesn’t track an account’s karma like reddit. So, all downvotes will be isolated to your post or comment and won’t affect your account—unless you wrote something truly horrible.
Remember lemmy is a community effort. Deleting a post also removes all comments on it. So you are not only robbing the effort others put in, you are actively removing knowledge from the fediverse. Others won’t be able to find it through search and lemmy will seem lonelier than it already is.
If you are coming from reddit, how do you get your lemmy feed to stay as ‘subscribed’ instead of it always reverting back to ‘all’ (aka a pile of rubbish just like reddit)?

Thank you, no idea how I missed that, or at least missed the save button.
The Lemmy web frontend (and other frontends as well) have a setting for which feed should be your default
