Obviously your IP has to be taken down so they can route traffic to you. Username and all info you put on your profile or post. List of liked/disliked posts, subscribed or blocked communities and people, perhaps metadata of any photos or videos you upload, the package name for whatever mobile app you use, etc.
All the code is available on GitHub for you to check out if you’d like, 80% of it is written in Rust. But I am looking through it myself to see what kind of privacy I can expect from Lemmy. It’s already ahead of Reddit though, where I couldn’t view the source code and just had to trust what the company said.
