Accessible user info by instance owner? (self.main)

Before joining Mastodon I remember reading about how instance owners could potentially have access to their user’s chats and messages. I don’t think I ever saw this about Lemmy, or at least never looked into that much. Is that also the case here? How much info is accessible by the owners here?

That said I love the service and am happy to be here lol

Lemmy is pretty light on activity logging, I'm not aware of anywhere that records user IPs. They also made some changes in a recent patch that moved user IDs from a get to a post variable, so I don't think there's a way to correlate hits in the access log with a particular user ID. (I haven't looked into this in a few months, so my info might be slightly wrong)

Basically what we can see is any content you post, even if it's a private DM (or one you received). We can also see all your voting data.
