I like sharing my thoughts and struggles here, but I don't want it to be a permanent digital footprint and wish to delete all the posts and comments one day.

Harder here than on centralized platforms because everything you posted here has been copied to other servers which might ignore your requests to delete things.

Is there any such lemmy alternative with similar crowd?

Raddle.me and lobste.rs are non-federated alternatives.
