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…
IMO having deletes federate should be part of a minimum standard all fediverse software has to meet (plus mod tools, spam control, csam filters, etc) before it is allowed to federate but obviously we’re nowhere near having that sort of social organisation.
OP is simply incorrect.
I’m coding a Lemmy alternative right now and have been testing this functionality out extensively. Deletes of posts and comments certainly federate, I’ve seen the AP traffic to make it happen. Also, the docs: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/contributors/05-federation.html#delete-post-or-comment
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 there’s nothing about ActivityPub that makes removing an account and all it’s posts in one go impossible.

A whole bunch of 8kun / 4chan garbage. If that’s not against the rules, it should be.
You have it backwards - we don’t find a cool project we want to contribute to and then try to learn the technology needed. Instead, we already know the language/tech/tool from our work or education and then seek cool projects to contribute to that use that language/tech/tool.
As a beginner you can’t expect to rock up to a github project and be productive or even understand what is going on. Usually open source projects are not extensively documented and no one will have time to show you around. That is no way to learn.
No one can be productive in more than a handful of languages/tools. Once you have more experience you will become specialised in certain languages and can seek projects that use those languages.
For now, try to find a situation where there are people around who will invest time in helping you to build your skills. A supportive employer, or tertiary education.
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.
My guess is specialized hardware. Similar to how mining crypto moved from CPU -> GPU -> ASIC, we’ll see LLM hardware that optimizes the currently-cpu-intensive pieces.
Code does not exist in isolation from the community of developers that produced it. Who we collaborate with defines us, to some degree.
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.
This isn’t a censorship issue. This is a choice about whether to publicise and promote pedophiles or not. No website has a right to be included in join-lemmy listings.
They’re authoritarian leftists, who support Putin. They have more in common with fascists than most people do.
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.
By all means, put some effort in. Please.
The issues you raised about those sites were fixed within two hours.

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?
The ActivityPub protocol makes it possible, but most apps only make use of the pieces of ActivityPub that suit them. For example, in Lemmy they lean heavily on the Group actor type as the basis for Communities, which Mastodon doesn’t use at all. Peertube creates content using the Video activity type, while Mastodon only creates content in the form of a Note activity. Lemmy produces a lot of Link activities, which get rendered into a Note when viewed in Mastodon. And so on.
It’s all a work in progress and I’m confident integration will get better over time. The framework is there.
Kbin has limited support for Mastodon posts but it’s UI is still very much focused on the reddit-style functionality.
Nuclear reactor meltdown was high on my list.
Yup. I was at a concert in the final minutes of the century. A fuse blew just after midnight so all the lights went out which was a tense moment but life went on.
The article claims it’s source is Euro-Med Monitor but https://euromedmonitor.org makes no mention of organ harvesting. No press release, blog post or anything.
Lots of other ghastly stuff though, holy shit.
