As long as a deleted post is no longer visible in the publicly-accessible parts of the site, that would be enough verification for me.
I don't know how the GDPR authorities verify compliance with mainstream proprietary closed source apps, do you?

Yes, although the server will not ignore the deletion activity if that server is running Lemmy. We're talking about Lemmy here, not the fediverse as a whole. OP singled out Lemmy in the post title and said "lemmy devs are not concerned with..."
I'm sure there is more to be done in this area. It'd be great to know for sure which software treats deletion activities properly (I'm really unsure about Kbin, I think it does not) and which does not so instance admins can make informed decisions about who they federate with. Perhaps this information could be made available right within the UI that Lemmy admins use to control their instance, rather than an obscure documentation page somewhere...

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.

How does the data throughput compare to cloudflare or wireguard?

A whole bunch of 8kun / 4chan garbage. If that's not against the rules, it should be.
- Comment on Some instances have gone down recently, did we miss any? 6 months ago:
The initial enthusiasm is wearing off.
Check out these graphs (scroll down) https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy. They don't show October yet, but there are some downward trends visible.

Code does not exist in isolation from the community of developers that produced it. Who we collaborate with defines us, to some degree.
- Comment on why doesn't Egypt open its borders to Gaza? 7 months ago:
Egypt already has 12 million homeless people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_by_homeless_population
1.2 out of 10 people in Egypt is homeless.
Jordan, with a population of 11 million people, already has 2.1 million Palestinian refugees and 1.4 million Syrian refugees.
Those countries are in no position to help.
Look elsewhere for solutions.
- Comment on Nothing to see here, just join lemmy promoting a pedophile instance. Not a good look for the fediverse 7 months ago:
How long has it been there? Months?
The lemmy.ml devs were ok with Nazi instances being on join-lemmy "because people can just choose to join a different instance if they want" (or words to that effect) so it'll be interesting to see how far they take that line of reasoning.

- Comment on What about a new explore-feed which merges the Subscribed, Local and All feed based on probabilities customable by the user e.g. 10/40/50 or 0/20/80? 8 months ago:
Would you still want this if All was less of a dumpster fire? E.g. if a community like /c/Memes could be excluded?

When someone creates a new discussion in a merged community, which servers would it be posted to? All? Of only one of them, wouldn't it be confusing for the user to suddenly have to choose? What if the component communities have different moderation policies?

https://cloudisland.nz/about is a paid Mastodon server.

Important context, thanks.
- Comment on Is it dumb to create a wiki in this day and age? 9 months ago:
Maybe what is missing is not the content but the way it is structured and presented. Perhaps the article/page paradigm does not fit very well to what a political discussion is.
Perhaps some sort of visual graph of each topic, with supporting and contra-indicating evidence represented as boxes with arrows? Each piece of evidence could have sources and sub-evidence, etc. Check this out: https://debategraph.org/poster.aspx?aID=65
- Comment on From a networking perspective, does the Fediverse strike anyone else as "optimistic"? 9 months ago:
Yup. You need to use a third party service like https://lemmyverse.net/communities and then subscribe.
There's no reason why this functionality can't be built into lemmy/kbin in future. It's on the feature wishlist for the lemmy/kbin clone that I'm building.
- Comment on From a networking perspective, does the Fediverse strike anyone else as "optimistic"? 9 months ago:
You got it.
This is a limitation of the ActivityPub protocol so similar kinds of behaviour / problems shows up in mastodon, etc as well. Until someone subscribes, it doesn't exist locally and posts don't start to flow unless there is a subscriber.
- Comment on Is lemmy.fmhy.ml down? 9 months ago:
.ml stands for Marxist - Leninist. The Lemmy devs are tankies who support Putin.

- Comment on How does lemmy fit into the fediverse? 9 months ago:
Lemmy downvotes are ignored by Mastodon and Kbin.
