Hey guys, thanks to some of you I was able to set up my lemmy instance. Its working flawlessly. But here comes my new question:

From a security perspective, is it less secure and less anonymous this way, right? I mean with an account on any other instance you would be kinda insivisble if you use a VPN and a alias email without any trace back to yourself. But with an own instance anybody can check where is your server located, therefore you would be less anonym. Right?

    I have the same setup. You just need to make sure the domain info is private when you first register it because if the whois history is cached somewhere and your info was public before then it can still be found.
