Will Lemmy ever add federated delete like mastodon (pricefield.org)

I understand in any Foss project federated delete can be turned off by forking the project and removing it but I feel like for the vast majority of instances they won't do that. I noticed Lemmy does not support federated delete leaving me unable to delete post from other instances. Is this planned?

Hopefully, but from what I understand, the federated nature of Lemmy means some instances might not respect your delete flag, and content might stay up anyway.

bummer. i kinda thought that was a default thing. do you know if kbin honors federated delete?

It does not. But it has been flagged, so hopefully it will be fixed at some point in the future.
