When I sign up under an instance, what information am I sharing to the host? (geddit.social)

I want to sign up under this instance and host communites, but privacy is important to me.

Privacy drove me off reddit, I looked around for these answers but not sure where to come across them.

1)Am I sharing my IP address/ location with my host instance? 2)is there a log of my view history 3)i know that this instance has a heavy Piracy base, what is the risk of joining this? 4) are there general privacy concerns that I am not thinking of?

I know these may be dumb questions but as a user and not necessarily the most tech savvy, any education would help!

I do not want to be in a position where a Government creates an instance, and allows them to monitor.

Thanks for the question and for bringing it to our attention. We are (mostly) all quite new to the Lemmy platform and haven't yet put together a specific privacy policy for the instance, or looked into customizing the default behaviors regarding logging. For the time being I would suggest you take the usual precautions of using a VPN and following privacy minded practices when creating your account. We will post a sticky about it once we have had time to consider all the ins and outs.
