Why YSK: On reddit only the body was editable, so by knowing this you won’t need to delete or resubmit due to wrong URL, typo, etc.

That’s the default behavior here on my home instance, I’ve noticed. If I delete a comment, it’s still shown that I was there, so I find myself thinking it over more.

That’s a good question, and I don’t know any of the specifics, but the apps are doing their best to implement features provided by each instance, and federation is made possible by way of their common underlying code (ActivityPub). When things act up in the app it’s likely because different instances handle different things locally. Voting is a good example, some instances and communities effectively turn it off.

You should probably know that deleting your comments on reddit is pretty ineffective. They don’t discard the actual content of your post from their database, and there are websites whose sole purpose is to host undelete archives of reddit threads. I can’t verify this but I’ve also heard they’re rolling back a lot of comment deletion after the recent drama.
That’s the part I don’t really get about people’s attachment to reddit identities, in hindsight that’s a ten year history of things I was dumb enough to share on the internet and I’d gladly wipe that slate clean if it were a real option.

That is stupid… One moment I have to test this
My understanding is that some of these things are less explicit desired functionality and more oversights that simply haven’t yet become worth the developer effort they would take to remove from the codebase.
Test
I still see your name, and when I reply I can see you wrote “test”
FWIW I’m using Jerboa app
My app (Liftoff) doesn’t show the option to reply to his deleted post. I guess it makes sense.
It should always be assumed that once something is posted online, it is there forever.
