To delete a post in Thunder, click the … on the post, the “Post”, then “Delete post”.
You can’t follow users on Lemmy, only communities.
And it’s not just you, I can’t work out how to DM people in Thunder either 🤷

DM writing in thunder is not implemented (yet). I use the webui.

About following users, that can be somewhat achieved with RSS - Lemmy provides a feed for each user's post history.

I am not familiar with fediverse apps, but you could pick the feed for a given user, put in a RSS reader, and open new entries if the app can pick links for a given instance.
As for the feed itself, for example, for your profile directly on Lemmy World, it's the signal icon to the right of the interrogation symbol at the bottom has the link for it, and you put the link in the RSS reader:

Truly, each day I realize I have less knowledge than I thought.

I left Thunder for Blorp because of the lack of its DM capability (it can only read, not write). However, I have since learned that direct messages are not private anyway (I guess that’s why they’re no longer called “private messages,” hmm…), so I have barely touched that feature, haha.

Everything you do in Lemmy is not private. Your instance needs to send everything to other instances, and the data is stored unencrypted in the database. Every time you vote on a post that action is sent to every other instance that has a subscribing user in that community. You can see that in action here: lemvotes.org
For DMs, they are only stored in the sending and receiving instance, but for sure the sys admins of those two instances can look in their database and see the messages in plain text.
Lemmy allows you to enter your Matrix ID in your profile, then (at least in the default Lemmy site) a new button appears on your profile page for others, who can click the button to secure message you on Matrix (which is E2E encrypted).

Dang, thanks for the enlightenment. This all makes me not wanna finance Lemmy development when DMs could easily be PMs… The popups were otherwise making me think twice…
