Shoot me your old username and I'll check it out.
Technically, deletion would need to be done by your old instance admins, although with federation, that content is also everywhere in the fediverse and might not be completed deleted.
On which instance? Turns out there's a few Spitz out there
Hmmmm, you don't seem actually banned, but .ml probably didn't skip 0.19.2 which had a bug that required to clear cookies and whatnot before logging in would work postupgrade.
Which is one of the main reasons why we hadn't upgraded yet, fixed in 0.19.3, but I'm not sure of the behavior of you don't skip 0.19.2.
Anyway, try logging into your account in a browser, in a private navigation window to be sure, I would expect it to work.
At least you don't seem banned to me...
If you used an email at sign up you should be able to reset your password using the "forgot my password" link when logging in.
If there's still an issue, you'd have to reach out to an admin on lemmy.ml.
Whether that's restoring access or deleting your data.
Maybe @[email protected].
Good luck
@[email protected] the modlog for that account shows that it isn't banned (except for from one community). If you have an email address associated with it you can use the "forgot password" function to reset its password, but otherwise there is no way to recover it.
Yea I guess there's no other way to really confirm it was your account without an email. Not that I doubt your story or anything, but restoring access without verifying email would open up a boatload of account hijacking shenanigans.
