It appears that it has federated now, but I do think it is likely due to the version issues. There's a multitude of bugs with lemmy, but due to the nature of federation deletion is always going to be a bit wonky regardless unfortunately. Keeping an eye on the development of lemmy, but the newest update has been a hot mess.

It could be a lemmy federation issue. Can you message which comment it was? Sometimes federation is wonky by nature unfortunately.
I wouldn't recommend that instance, but that's just me.
People will take the harassment off site especially if they are dedicated enough or use it to scrape for potential personal info to publicly release.
There are instances on the fediverse that have harassed people to their deaths before. So....
My matrix is open if you want/are actually interested in doing this in a way that won't make the rest of the fediverse flip shit. I support this tools creation especially for lemmy, but if it isn't done the right way it'll be received poorly. Making it behave differently on lemmy compared to other software as well might be an idea too.
But they are correct. There are vulnerable groups of people who have a harassment risk against them. We share the fediverse with others, be mindful of that. Making a search engine or an archiver for lemmy is such a good idea with how it functions! but for the wider fediverse..... that's just directly contradictory to its culture unless it can be opted in by instance and users
That's not how the fediverse functions and approaching it that way is a problem waiting to happen. I'm stating so as a warning to be mindful of the culture of the way the fediverse itself functions. This is not Reddit, we share the fediverse with other software with different uses and features and we need to be mindful of that especially when building these kinds of tools. Making it opt out not only places a burden on smaller instances but presents a potential harassment risk for instances with vulnerable people on other fediverse platforms. As well, it is contrary to the entire way specific other activitypub instances operate. The fediverse is like a city we share with others, if Lemmy is not mindful of that city's culture then people will promptly give them the boot.
I'm not saying user by user opt in either, but instance by instance. Lemmy needs a tool of archiving especially. There is already cultural clashes I see occurring with the rest of the fediverse. Post like these of potential tools when it seems like the creator doesn't know the messy history behind previous projects like them in the fediverse make me fearful of the clashes coming to fruition.

https://fedipact.veganism.social/ has a solid list. Also the book that's quoted above in this page is amazing.
Kbin development is slowly but surely improving thankfully. We'll let you know when it's ready to refederate.
