From Lemmy documentation:
We don’t delete anything from our database, just hide it from users. Deleted or removed Communities/Posts/Comments have a “restore” button.
But don’t take my word for it. Try it out yourself. You can make a comment, delete the comment (your username appears to remain) and then restore its content.
You must log in or register to comment.

I noticed that earlier! Pretty neat feature honestly.
Not from a privacy perspective, that’s for sure. There are already a couple privacy downsides in federated services in general, but the decision to intentionally retain user data after deletion is requested… If that’s the case, Reddit may offer more privacy
When you delete your account, there’s an option to purge all your data.
Reddit is even worse. When you delete your comment, it’s not really deleted and still visible to the mods of the sub

That is not true.
