Adding an option to show deleted posts and adding option to undelete a post #264

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. There is no hiding posts functionality on lemmy. There is deleting however, which is not permanent, and they have a button to undelete a post. Only removing is permanent. On Lemmy-UI I used that functionality to hide posts for other users. Sometimes I unhid them later. Can we add something similar here? I think they have it wrong because for user who deleted post it is mixed together with undeleted ones and it's confusing. They miss somethng like hide all deleted posts switch or something. What photon can do is a switch to show/hide deleted posts. Now when I want to undelete a post I have to do it via database. It would be much more convenient with a switch that affects all posts and ofc option to undelete a post which also needs to be added.

As for UI that's just my suggestion, I guess there are a few ways to do it

UPDATE: we can actually wait for hiding posts functionality which looks like lemmy will introduce in next release. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4480#event-11967913115
