Can posts and comments on Lemmy be fully deleted since they still appear with the option to "undelete" after doing so? (lemm.ee)

I noticed when you delete a post or comment on Lemmy it still shows up on my account with the option to "undelete" it which fully restores it and makes it public again.

Does this mean you can't fully delete them and basically only "hide" them from the community but they will still stay on the server forever? Or is there any option to fully delete them or will that happen after some time?
