I used to manually remove for example the GPS location when using Reddit since I don't trust them. Does Lemmy or any Android client remove it by default?
Uploaded this test image in the comment with modified metadata (no gps tag but added software, date, vendor info as exif tags) and after downloading it does not contain any metadata anymore. So seems like at least that server does remove it?
Yeah probably. Seems like the image is not stored in its original form in this case but might depend on server settings and the image file.
So as always private data like geo tags should be removed before uploading.

Thanks for your effort :) So it seems like you have to trust your instance?
