Edit: NM
I thought my previous posts and drawings had been wiped out because when I first clicked on posts I got a message saying 'You have no Miiverse posts yet' but when I exited and tapped it again they were back, that's a relief.

This lack of consistency has been a problem for a long time and I'm very disappointed they didn't fix it with the update. The update is purely cosmetic. It's the same clunky, flimsy engine under the hood.
Your activity feed won't always show the latest posts from the people you follow. When you get a notification about a new comment on a post and click the link, the new comment won't always be there. Usually refreshing the page will make stuff appear. But sometimes it will make stuff disappear.

Comments can be deleted. I'm pretty sure that when that happens, the comment gets hidden entirely from the UI, but the notification doesn't get removed.
The comments and posts I was referring to were not deleted. The inconsistent database queries just didn't return them. Refreshing the page one or more times made them appear. And they can disappear again as well.
It's as if they've got a time limit on their queries and the database returns whatever it was able to find by the time the limit expires. Or they've implemented the "Eventually NEVER Consistent" distributed database paradigm. 8D

I've always suspeceted that the server app is just impatient and never retries anything.
About drawings and pictures,
my post from the other thread in case people missed it
Actually you can,
you just have press the home button, get to miiverse and select drawing.
You make your drawing and then attach a picture.

The journal and screenshot album idea is great, is like having your own space in Miiverse without spamming the whole comunity, I often took pictures from my games but they not always were intented to be shared, more like have my owm register. Now comunity should be less cluttered 
Open disscusion is also a great addition because you can disscuss about other topics related to the game/developer/company/whatever. I think it's more well organizated now.

The discussion stuff is better organized, sure, but the fact that you can't open a new discussion without irreversibly closing your previous one is pretty stupid and has a pretty big impact on the utility of the discussion section.
The problem is that some what to post journal entries with drawings. That doesn't seem possible (note I haven't tested it since I've done nothing in a game I feel worth posting about).

In-game posts are ones that are made from within the game itself, not the Miiverse app. You can't make "normal" posts anymore since the redesign. They have to go in one of the sections.
