You can find various of my OPs and comments, but I deleted them days ago on the feddit.nl instance. These OPs aren't visible on the feddit.nl instance, but they're visible on lemmy.world.

Why? The same goes for lemmy.ml, but it concerns a different number of OPs and comments.

Worth noting that it's not a lemmy specific issue. There's Reddit databases out there with full edit and delete history.

If it's publicly visible at any point, one should assume it's on the Internet forever.
