ALSO YOU CAN’T DELETE YOUR COMMENTS OUTSIDE OF YOUR INSTANCE.
Yes you can. But just as is true with posting and editing, sometimes a deletion will fail to federate to all instances. No federation action is guaranteed, but rather best effort.
Sorry, you can’t delete your comment if they choose to disallow that. That’s common on lemmy. That’s why you’ll get downvotes on poorly written comments you give up on and delete.
Do you want to test it with me? I can make a few different accounts on a few different instances if you’re willing. I’ll make a few comments on a few posts and delete them.
I had one specific time someone quoted me like you did in a comment, but it was something I had deleted a long time ago. The time stamp on their comment was too recent to have seen my comment. I tested it a few times after that. If I can find the comment chain(s), I’ll link them. I comment a lot on lemmy, so I’d have to dig a bit.

Please show me a single case where that actually happened.
