Anyone know if Lemmy logs IP? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

For instance say I post a guide on how to do something related to piracy...should I be concerned that my IP is being logged? I understand if it is logged it is most likely saved on the instance server I'm posting on. What I'm asking is if I should be constantly using a VPN while browsing or posting on instances?

Not an answer to your question, but rather an observation. Best to always assume you're being tracked and behave accordingly.

I have engineered my instance to not log IPs at the reverse proxy, so yes it can be done, however, you should always use a VPN because of network observers (ISP, datacenters).
