You may need to edit with [deleted by user] and wait some time then delete or something as a workaround. Interesting to know that delete isn’t be all and all.
Not sure, may need to check the github repo to see if it's a know bug (or an actual feature).
Pretty sure I saw many deleted comments in my instance over the past few weeks, so surely deletion works, at least for some of them. If not, you can always edit the comment and clear the content to simulate deletion. I just edited this comment and I'll see if the edit shows up in your instance.
I had it set to localtime instead of UTC, which for me is -5 hours. Caused me a bit of grief earlier today after making a new post that started out already five hours old!
It seems like a real pickle though. What if I set my time to a year in the future and make a post? Would that post stay at the top of new all year? I guess lemmy should use the received date rather than what is sent but that could be problematic when things are bogged down or having federation issues.
Thank you everyone! Amazing to see this working with all the other instances. Honestly surprised I didn't have to do too much config after using this post as a rough guide. Just took time for everything to start downloading properly, especially with the chaos of the July 1st exodus.

It's interesting that your post says "in 1 hour" as the timestamp. What would be causing that?
cnk@kbin.dk · 8 pts · 3y
Perhaps a time zone thing? I posted it from CET / UTC + 1
CrypticCoffee@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 3y
I think they're aware of the 2 hours difference from kbin to other instances and will likely investigate it at some point.

@redcalcium (dev here) we currently have it set up so @remindme has to be at the start of post, otherwise the bot ignores it 😄

WTF it's not deleted in OP's instance: https://feed.timeloop.tv/comment/5896
In my instance it's deleted: https://c.calciumlabs.com/comment/166782
Edit: it's deleted in lemmy.world: https://lemmy.world/comment/862358
danQuix0te@feed.timeloop.tv · 1 pts · 3y
That's very strange. Once a post gets federated, can a user not delete it? Can it only be removed with a purge from the instance admin?
Ducks@ducks.dev · 3 pts · 3y
It can, but the deletion takes time to sync to all instances I believe

@danQuix0te sorry, I shouldn't have deleted my comment. Still trying to get the time thing sorted out.
danQuix0te@feed.timeloop.tv · 1 pts · 3y
No worries! All tests welcome in this thread. Do you think it's your server host? What's the output of the "date" command?
blaise@champserver.net · 2 pts · 3y
I had it set to localtime instead of UTC, which for me is -5 hours. Caused me a bit of grief earlier today after making a new post that started out already five hours old!
It seems like a real pickle though. What if I set my time to a year in the future and make a post? Would that post stay at the top of new all year? I guess lemmy should use the received date rather than what is sent but that could be problematic when things are bogged down or having federation issues.
blaise@champserver.net · 2 pts · 3y
UTC now. Am I still the ghost of federation's past?
Edit: seems so?

One more try. I sure hope you don't have notifications enabled for all replies...

How did you do it. I can't find other instances (almost none) on my instance.

Do you see your instance on https://lemmy.world/instances or other servers /instances? That's typically a good sign that your server is federated.
