I assume it’s removed from your user record in the Postgres database. Presumably there are database backups that will retain it. I haven’t worked on the Lemmy codebase nor do I sysadmin the server, so that’s all I can speculate from my past past experience designing & managing services of this kind.
lemmy=# select p.name, i.domain, p.display_name, p.emailfrom person p join instance ion p.instance_id = i.id where name='helloworld'; ERROR: column p.email does not exist
so once I delete the email contained in that field, it will be deleted on the server as well I hope? I should look this up in the lemmy code i.g.

I found this answer helpful, can you open it? https://lemmy.ml/post/35169048/20671736
lemmy=# select
p.name,
i.domain,
p.display_name,
p.email
from person p join instance i
on p.instance_id = i.id
where name='helloworld';
ERROR: column p.email does not exist
email only exists in the local_user table
Can I open what? I can only get my own email address through the API: https://lemmy.readme.io/reference/get_site
curl -s -w "\n" -H "authorization: Bearer ${JWT}" https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/site \ | jq -r '.my_user.local_user_view.local_user.email'
