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.

Others don’t see the text of the comment though, it just says comment is deleted.
To answer your question, basically for Federation reasons (if I had to guess).
Its the same way with when you block someone, you’re not blocking them from the seeing you, you’re blocking yourself from seeing them. They can still respond to your comments and you wouldn’t know they had.

That’s a shame. That’s not a great way to do blocking, since it allows trolls to continue using your comments as a springboard for their bs.
It really should be a two-way block.
