This would be my concern.
As I understand it lemmy caches data from other instances you/your users utilize as part of federation which means it requires a fair bit of storage to operate and potentially sketchy data could be synced onto your hardware completely unbeknownst to you.
And afaik you are still legally liable for it
It depends on the country you're in I guess. In Germany, and other countries as well I guess, you're not liable for stuff others people post on your platform as long as you react to reports and actually remove that shit when it's brought to your attention. You don't have to look at your instances media folder 24/7
