MODERATORS
Yes, posts you make to public forums are public.
Yes - Indeed.
But: Not what I liked or disliked. Every federated server can see that in their logs. Normally this would at least need you to talk to reddit/meta/some other company in order to get a hold of this data, but here literally everyone with basic Linux knowledge can get everyone's data very easy, very quick, and very reliable.
So you're saying you can get my lemmy data easily?
You can literally go and setup your own lemmy instance in less than 10 minutes. Its so well documented that even the least tech savy person should be able to do that with a bit of research.
When you've done that just wait for the data to flow in. And thats it.
