Hi I’ve just arrived on Lemmy but I’m already talking shit and people hate me like when I say Twitter is better than Mastodon (sorry I’m an idiot). But now I want to delete my post because I don’t assume but it won’t go away!!! Can someone explain to me how the delete system works? Thanks a lot.

    As a federated service deletions can take time to federate out to other instances. It’s also good practice to first edit the post/comment away before deletion.
