I hope people aren't under the impression that Lemmy is about privacy.
Arguably it's even less private than Reddit, as at least Reddit has some sort of controls on who can access your data i.e. whoever pays.
But on Lemmy, that's free with federation. Maybe not the same granular tracking data, but enough of users personal data is available as to not consider Lemmy to be a privacy centric service.
tbf reddit prolly tracks more data through their app (post view time, view count, cancelled posts, etc)
What data?
All of the data you generate when using Reddit...posts, comments, view tracking, voting, subreddit subscriptions, etc.
You mean reddit's data
