Instance operator here! I self-host a small Lemmy instance for developers and tech savvy folks.
The short version is that it totally depends on your home instance, so it’s too general to reason about, really. Lemmy itself doesn’t keep track of your IP, but there are move moving parts than that, like the reverse proxy, potentially CDN/object store, potentially web server…. etc. That’s all up to the instance, and the admins are capable of tweaking that stuff to log or not as they see fit.
It’s worth noting that some jurisdictions legally require server operators to keep this data.
So TLDR - if you trust your instance administrators, and the country and state/province they host it in, then maybe not. Otherwise, assume you are not anonymous on Lemmy.
Yay, I finally attracted a “_____ [insert profession/qualification ] here” reply 🤗Can you comment on your view of Lemmy.world? I actually know very little about them and I wonder how you perceive them as a fellow instance operator :)
Thank you for the insider view, its succinct and informative
