Why does deleting a post not actually delete it?

I'm still new to how lemmy works exactly but why does trying to delete a post not actually remove it? It's still fully viewable so are you not able to delete posts on here at all? I'm a bit confused.

  • Just FYI, coming from a Thunder dev, the full contents of deleted and removed contents are available via the API, and it's up to us to hide the contents. It's easy to miss use cases (like another user mentioned you can see deleted comments by replying in Sync; that's just an (easy) oversight by the dev). I'm glad to hear that they won't even be available in the API starting with 0.19.4!!
