    What are the privacy advantages of self hosting lemmy? as in what kind of data are we otherwise sharing when we use someone else’s instance?

      If I create a private community for all my family members it remains private while I selfhost. If I create it on someone else’s server it ain’t that private because the admin could be eavesdropping.
