Why does deleting a post not actually delete it? (self.support)

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.

If you click "source" on a deleted comment, you can see what was written before it was deleted on the Mlmym interface.

Sounds like they're caching the comments, and not honoring the deletion request by removing the comment from their cache.
