Just like on Facebook, when you delete a comment on Lemmy it gets stuck with a “deleted” flag that’s possible to undo on some clients, including the official one last time I did it.
To be fair, your incredulity is totally understandable. I think we should fix Lemmy too.
Lemmy does support deleting comments. Federation of deletes seems rather unstable, but it should work.
Images are still visible, of course, at least until the pull request fixing this gets deployed to servers people are on.
That has nothing to do with federation - I can still read deleted comments that other users of my instance posted in local communities
In that case, the deleted comments were cached locally before. They should disappear if you clear your app cache/data and log in again.
