As the Fediverse grows more and more, rules and regulations become more important. For example, is Lemmy GDPR compliant? If not, are admins aware of the possible consequence? What does this mean for the growth of Lemmy?
Edit: The question “is Lemmy GDPR compliant” should mean, does the software stack provide admins with means to be GDPR compliant.
Edit2: Similar discussion with many interesting opinions on lemmy.ml by /u/infamousbelgian@waste-of.space–> https://lemmy.ml/post/1409164
Does Lemmy even need to be gdpr compliment? It’s not a company, it’s private individuals.

This isn’t true since your single user instance is federated. For example, this comment is going to end up on your instance, and it could have my personal data.
edit: here’s a meta-link to this comment on your instance: https://lemmy.cwagner.me/comment/2786 – despite it originating from lemmy.one and the post being lemmy.ml from a user on lemmy.world (interestingly every person involved in this interaction is on a different instance)

I don’t have a guide for you, sorry. I’ve looked into it briefly but I can’t say I care enough to fix it.
I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to go federation only by blocking everything that’s not an
application/ld+jsoncontent
type (technicallyapplication/ld+json; profile="https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams"
but some servers don’t send the correct Accept headers). The Lemmy frontend submits plain JSON and POST requests and it doesn’t implement the client-server ActivityPub API, so that should be the easiest way to keep federation working while whitelisting your personal IP addresses.deleted by creator

It doesn’t apply to purely personal use. See Article 2 section 2 ©. For shits and giggles would fall under that.

I agree. I was replying to your comment that GDPR applies to private data collection for shits and giggles, which isn’t correct. For Lemmy, I’m certain it applies. GDPR applies to small churches even
For now anyways, I can see that changing in the future. Company centric instances with communities for each of their product lines.
