This sounded like an ominous privacy warning lol!
Your actual browsing of lemmy is moderately private, provided you trust your server.
But nothing else is. By design, it’s pretty easy for anyone who wants to track activity on any federated platform to do so. They’re extremely open.
provided you trust your server.
You shouldn’t.
especially if you run it yourself. If you don’t have a loaded sawed off sitting near your server rack in case the machine spirit within grows too strong, you aren’t servering correctly.

Not exactly. Many of the big instances have Cloudflare (or similar) sitting between you and the server, providing the HTTPS layer while watching everything you read and write on Lemmy. In cryptography circles, we call this a man-in-the-middle.
Your instance (sh.itjust.works) is one such instance, by the way, as is lemmy.world.
That applies to most of the internet, and Cloudflare has a long track record of not abusing that position, though.
Trains lol. Autists in da house. Represent!
It’s a super useful place for finding new communities to subscribe to! I also heartily recommend !communities@ponder.cat
