due to the offending user being banned from the federating instance before the post was removed? example
edit: i recognize this is not a local issue and may be more of a lemmy problem. wondering if anyone has any experience or thoughts cuz its weird to have awful stuff hosted on one instance even though it was banworthy elsewhere.
edit 3: removed edit 2.
Lemmy has not reached 1.0 status. That means a lot of features are underbaked, like federation.
That said, it might be intentional. Whats ban worthy on one instance might not be elsewhere.
already understood! hence the question in the title
