I’d be really keen to host a lemmy instance but just wondering with GDPR and everything, if there is anything else to consider outside of the technical setup and provisioning of hardware?
Lemmy is storing users data so is there any requirement to do anything GDPR wise?
Hope this is the right place for this - But seen a lot of posts interested in hosting their own lemmy instance, and this is an extension of that
Indeed, but I think email addresses for email providers (but not everyone else) are handled differently by the GDPR as they are necessary for providing the email service. I think this is similar to how functional cookies do not require consent under the GDPR if they are only used to keep you logged into the site etc.
