I do have to say that Lemmy by design is pretty anti user privacy. Anyone with an instance can view your post history even if deleted, your vote history, and your IP address.
Lemmy is designed for public discourse and data availability. If you want your thoughts to be private, don't post here.
If you want privacy, you should use Matrix groups. But even in Matrix, you're at the mercy of the host admin.
