How long is the grace period for mods after deleting a community? (feddit.org)

Hello everyone,

Very quick question: when a community is deleted, there is a grace period to allow mods to restore it (which seems to be at max 24 hours from our observations). My question is

how long is the grace period for mods?
do admins have grace periods too, or can they restore it without any time limit?

From skimming through the database definition (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/d479bb96c64047a84914d64cbe1d8a366e1ec182/crates/db_schema/src/source/community.rs) it seems that just edits the "hidden" boolean

But still curious to see if someone knows how long the grace period is, and where it comes from (probably front-end)

No grace period I'm aware of, just removal vs purging. If it's been removed it can be edited in the db to restore it. Once it's been purged, it's gone for good.
