Can other lemmy clients or the server admins see the email address associated with my account?

    • helloworld@lemmy.mlOP

      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.

      • davel [he/him]@lemmy.ml
        link
        fedilink
        English
        arrow-up

        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.
