What is your email used for when signing up to Lemmy? Is it just for password reset?

    I assume it can be seen by admins?

    I trust my admins, but I still used a forwarding service because there’s always a risk of an attack exposing data. Unless there’s some other security there I don’t know about

        Can you pull for foreign users? Curious what other federated instances can see
