As an American, I hope my Lemm.ee data is not stored in the US and so could not be subpeonaed, taken down, etc... by this corrupt government.

Can one of the Admins please confirm or deny this?

Lemm.ee servers are not hosted in the US and therefore not subject to US jurisdiction.

As others have pointed out, information on Lemm.ee-your posts, comments, profile info, etc. are both public, and federated with American instances.

What information you consider sensitive is dependent on your circumstances and your threat model, but generally I would avoid posting anything you deem sensitive to lemm.ee, due to the public nature of federated media.
