In my honest and probably very controversial opinion, Lemmy is not more private than say using Reddit.

Not an expert, but I am a self hoster.
Not everything is but yes, some things can be seen. Your saved posts are only visible to your local instance admins not every admin. Your subscriptions are visible to your local admin as well the admin of the community can see you are subscribed. Your DMs are visible to your local admins as well as the recipient’s admins. Your votes and comments will be visible to all federated admins. If you report a post, that report is visible to your local admins, the community’s mods and admins, and the reported person’s instance admins.
Say no more, I’m sold

Lemmy.world is NOT defederated from lemmy.ml. the above user is completely wrong.
This is easily verifiable by going to https://lemmy.world/instances and scroll to the bottom to see which ones are blocked


I love how you spent more time defending your wrongness than correcting the mistake. Like is it that hard to hit the edit button

Great work!
This got me thinking, does Lemmy clear orphan pictrs files? Say a user uploads an image but never submits the comment/post? That file is still on your pictrs and publicly linkable. And what if the post or comment is removed by moderator or deleted by the author? Is Lemmy cleaning these up?
You can change what instance you use to one that defederates with the places you don’t want to participate with. Also, some apps allow you to hide specific instances through a UI option.
I don’t think the average person understands how advanced bots have become at bypassing captchas now. Users will see this and be upset, and understandably so, but I’m telling you there is a big problem right now and devs are having trouble keeping up.
