What information does a Lemmy server collect about its users?
When I delete a comment or post, is it truly deleted on the server?
Do deletions also propagate to federated servers?

There is no tracking built into Lemmy, however servers log IP addresses by default.
Posts and comments are not deleted from the server to allow restoring them later. However if you make an edit, it completely overwrites the content. Deleting the user account also deletes all content. Deletions are federated, but because this is a distributed system, there is no guarantee that deletions (or other actions) reach other instances.
