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

    Very interesting, they actually seem to have thought this aspect through. Fully supportive of the fediverse and wouldn’t ever want to ever scaremonger or push people to not want to hosting their own instance, but with the explosion of Lemmy instances - At a certain point I am guessing someone will want to look into this in more detail.

    Whether its a change in regulation or helping people be responsible with data - Holding PID of some kind (in this case emails) does need to be done responsibly
