I think the post you saw on Lemmy must have gotten removed or deleted. This comment I found seems to be debunking the same post but the link button leads to a blank page. I do wish there was an archive of removed/deleted Fediverse content for reference purposes (with a reasonable level of censorship, such as omitting illegal content and personally identifying information). I think I saw another post on Lemmy of the same misinfo less recently than a day or two ago but I couldn’t find that post.
Does there exist means to identify which deleted/removed post the comment in the screenshot was from or means to view that post as it was prior to its deletion/removal?
Mods typically include a post’s content in the mod logs.
Click the three .s under a post/comment on the right side, a drop-down should allow you to see what was logged for that post’s removal and all other mod actions for that user.

There are publicly available mod logs at the bottom.

The screenshot is from searching comments local to Lemmy.world. There are not three dots anywhere around the comment on that page. I’m also on mobile, and tapping a username to see their specific modlog actions apparently doesn’t work.
Oh, you do have to be logged in, look at the comment from your instance.
