Are post deletions not federated? (lemmy.ca)

I have had a couple of occurences now where I post something then immediately delete it for one reason or another, yet the post keeps gaining votes and attention. When I check the post on lemmy.ca it returns a 404 but I can still view the post on the instance that it was posted to. Is this because I'm using the Photon front end or is this just a Lemmy thing? This seems like a rather large oversight...
