Answer 1

Why are you having two [] ? Remove one of them, I think this is the problem
Change
$dlt=DB::table('favads')->insertGetId([
['user_id' => Auth::user()->id, 'topic_id' => $id]
]);
To
$dlt=DB::table('favads')->insertGetId(
['user_id' => Auth::user()->id, 'topic_id' => $id]
);
Check with try and catch, what error are you receiving
try{
$dlt=DB::table('favads')->insertGetId(
['user_id' => Auth::user()->id, 'topic_id' => $id]
);
dd($dlt);
}catch(\Exception $e){
dd($e->getMessage());
}

Answer 2

You have to use like this
$dlt = new Favad();
$dlt->user_id = Auth::user()->id;
$dlt->topic_id = $id;
$dlt->save();

Answer 3

Be sure that you are using the following code use App\Favad; in your controller.
You should insert data the following way:
$dlt = new Favad;
$dlt->user_id = Auth::user()->id;
$dlt->topic_id = $id;
$dlt->save();
