In the main Lemmy UI click your username at the top right and select profile, in the row of buttons select Uploads and all your uploaded media is there even if the post is deleted.
Thanks, this is useful. I found an apparently removed meme, but I can’t see in which community was posted (and I don’t remember either, because it’s a year old post) or why was it removed now.
It’s just so wierd my meme with 200 likes was removed more than a year later. There haven’t been any activity in it’s comments lately either. It was a pretty mild meme too, just criticizing Apple for mining in Africa.
This is true but I just want to add that instance admins can purge the uploads/posts entirely with a button that’s right next to “delete”. I recommend keeping a local copy of media you want to keep.
Mostly the purge option is used for fucked up/illegal stuff, but can’t speak for every admin. Might be someone’s go-to button for deleting posts.

One of the joys of human moderation! (Not that other options are better)
