This is incorrect.

I'm coding a Lemmy clone right now and have been testing this functionality out extensively. Deletes of posts and comments certainly federate.

I haven't tested what happens when the 'delete account' button is clicked... Mastodon solves this by sending a 'delete this user' Activity to every fediverse instance so it's doable.
