  yeah it was tricky because the community name was overwritten with “deleted@lemmy.world”. I was only able to rediscover what the original community address was by some strange anomaly of like an autocomplete in a search field or something. The existence of the community is scrubbed even on lemmyverse.net.

    Correction-- I was just able to trace back to see how I figured out what the community address was. When I mouse-over “deleted@lemmy.world” on an old post of my own to the deleted community (from my profile), the underlying link is: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/homeimprovement@lemmy.world. So I think it’s only because I am not on lemmy.world myself that this was revealed. I suspect when users are on the same instance where the deletion happened, the original name may not appear. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
