As far as I know, Lemmy doesn't allow the deletion of content. https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/1b6g219/psa_you_cant_delete_photos_uploaded_to_lemmy_so/
You should however be able to overwrite your posts. So when you delete them, change every field to random nonsense.
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.
That has nothing to do with federation - I can still read deleted comments that other users of my instance posted in local communities
I think part of the issue is that you can undo the deletion of your own posts, which is a nice feature to have.
Maybe what we need is:
Add in a warning when posting or commenting that hiding/deleting may not federate
